I am not a LOADXX guru but &SYSALVL looks like waaaaaaay too little granularity. It seems to *stop* at ARCHLVL=2, "z Architecture." My OP was looking to distinguish *among* recent models -- say z990 to z13.
The basic problem is the C compiler will optimize to give best performance on, say, a z196 -- but the resulting code S0C1's on a z10. My boss wants something more user-friendly than a S0C1.

I confess to not having slogged through this thread, but from the beginning I've wondered why no one has suggested the static system symbol &SYSALVL. System symbols can be queried from pretty much any environment. They're set automatically at IPL. Maybe OP needs more detail... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
