Although not an exact science, at our site, we use a couple of System Symbols -
&PUTLVL. = "PUT1505"
&RSULVL. = "RSU1506"
Then the sysprog that is installing maintenance into the z/OS environment
updates these values to the approximate RSU/PUT level that has been installed
into that particular Target Zone. We then have a REXX exec that does the
following
PUT=mvsvar('symdef','putlvl')
RSU=mvsvar('symdef','rsulvl')
RESBLD=mvsvar('symdef','reslvl')
ZOSLVL=mvsvar('SYSOPSYS')
RESDATE = Translate('12/34/56',RESBLD,'123456')
Say 'z/OS PUT Level (Approx) : 'PUT
Say 'z/OS RSU Level (Approx) : 'RSU
Say 'z/OS SYSRES Build Date (dd/mm/yy) : 'RESDATE
Say 'z/OS V.R.M and FMID : 'ZOSLVL
Hope that helps.
