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.
