You might find forthcoming APAR OA47689 PTF UA90982 of interest. This is likely to be on or about December 10. It is likely that no additional information will be available until that time. Instead of "installation pick" it might be "installation tells the system what is available, and the system picks", and the system complains only when none of the available things can be used on the machine (e.g,. what is available is "zEC12 version and z13 version" but you're running on "z10"). This usage is not the primary intent of the APAR so it might not meet your needs, but then again it might suffice. One use of the APAR is to help you with migrating from Cobol 4 to Cobol 5 without changing a ton of JCL (how much JCL is a "ton" anyway?).
