IBM has (as opposed to many many others) been pretty consistent in their Version.Release.Modlevel convention. Regardless of the conventional use of dots to separate the parts, never has any part of it been intended to be treated as a decimal fraction.
Sorting and display formatting may find leading zeroes convenient, but they are semantically meaningless. sas On Sun, Mar 26, 2023 at 8:55 AM Ed Jaffe <[email protected]> wrote: > On 3/26/2023 4:57 AM, Peter Relson wrote: > > Bill G wrote > > <snip> > > On our systems, I am seeing, "under z/OS V2.03", on the initial TSO > screen. > > </snip> > > > > I suspect that that information is provided locally, not as part of z/OS. > > Likely a contrivance/adaptation originally conceived when OS/390 2.10 > briefly came on the scene for six months back in 1999.
