Right. Basic problem is program is compiled for z196, customer runs it on z10.
CSRSI gets the machine type and a lot more. CSRSI is basically a wrapper for STSI. I implemented the table approach but have decided to switch to Kirk's facility bit test approach.

I get it. There are different meanings of 'architecture level'. You need more granularity. Not knowing the ins and outs of the various control blocks suggested by others, I would take the KISS approach with a table of supported models and what action you would take for each. A substantial but not endless list. Inelegant, but easy(ish) to build and maintain. DISPLAY M=CPU gives detail on CPC family and model number in various formats. If a match is not found in your table, use the highest one you support and issue a warning message. You have to determine this at run time because a program could easily need to run on a machine higher or lower than one it's compiled on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
