When I compile a REXX exec I see a message from the REXX compiler that 
states:

Minimum Library Level required: 4

It's just an informational message, the compile works fine and the program 
runs fine (of course it does, on the system where it was compiled!)  

The value "4" differs across REXX execs based on the (commands?  
functions?) used within the program.  I see values ranging from 3 through 
5.  I'm trying to determine what specific REXX commands/functions are 
mapped to specific Minimum Library Level values.  Does anyone know where 
to find such a list?  (I want to reduce the minimum level required to 
remain compatible with earlier versions and need to know what causes the 
level to be higher).

Also, I'm trying to equate the "Minimum Library Level required" number to 
a specific (version? release? mod level? maint level?) of the Library for 
REXX (or more often, the Alternate Library). 

For example, if a REXX exec compiles as "Minimum Library Level required: 
4", then I want to know what level of the Alternate Library it can run 
under.  The terminology for designating the release level of the Alternate 
Library for REXX is different than just a single digit.  Instead, it 
appears like this (here's 2 examples):
EAGRTALT   3.0 LVL PN84932 Generated 08/01/96 16.27 
EAGRTALT   3.0 LVL PQ00114 LL(6) Generated 09/06/00 13.50

Aside from trial and error, how does one determine the specific level of 
the Alternate Library required to run any particular REXX exec? More 
specifically, how would I know if REXX exec that compiles with a "Minimum 
Library Level required: 4" would run in either of the two Alternate 
Libraries shown above?  

The end result is that I want to be able to state in specific terms (using 
correct nomenclature!) the level of the Library for REXX required to run a 
specific REXX exec (or Alternate Library, as many environments do not have 
the Library for REXX).   

Any help or reference would be much appreciated.  Thank you!
