That works. Do you use the symbols for anything or just to display so you know the level? I keep a spreadsheet of all the sysres sets, the levels and what's available, but my primary IBM sysres has a (uncatalogued) data set called "$$INFO.MAINT.HISTORY" and that contains a change log of what is done to the sysres (which gets cloned). So I have a lot more than just the RSU or PUT level. Even a single PTF is documented. So you can go around to any system in the sysplex and look at the IPL volume to know exactly what OS and maintenance level it is at. Likewise, on my ISV sysres (which is part of the sysres set), there is a $$INFO.PRODUCTS data set. This is a PDS that contains a $$HIST member with a history of changes and a member for each product that has a single line or a few lines that say the release level and maintenance level of the ISV product for that sysres set. This sort of information is kept in various other places, but they don't tell you that sysres set "A" has release 11.8 of product XYZ and sysres set "B" has release 11.9.
