Coupled with a check for z/OS R1.7 and newer, that would work, of course.
That's not how I read it. The SDWARC4 (64-bit stuff) is 0CL128 in older
(pre-z/OS 1.7) releases as well. Just testing for the presence of
SDWARC4 is good enough to know whether SDWABEA is "available" for
inspection. In older releases (e.g., z/OS 1.6), SDWABEA will always be
zeros. It will be zeros even on z/OS 1.7 and higher if running on older
(pre-z9) hardware.
