Either a program object or a load module may contain sections written in a mixture, unholy or otherwise, of source languages. For each CSECT, RSECT, or labeled-common block they produce IBM language processors (and most others) generate linkage-editor or binder IDENTIFY control statements from which IDRs are in turn generated by the linkage editor or binder. IDRs contain a full language-processor identification and a time-and-date stamp. The linkage editor and binder also produce their own IDRs, and users can (but seldom do) generate additional IDRs.
IBM supplies a utility program that lists these IDRs. Determining its name is left as an exercise for the reader.
