Pat I think you're correct; it's a matter of style. Probably the programmer is abiding by some sort of house rule that says if you can't rely upon the referenced variables to provide the correct length then use the length attribute in order to show the relationship between the length of the

IMS Version ?

I did indeed find the version identifier where you said it would be in DFSRRC00. Problem solved. Thank you, particularly Mark! Still, let me wonder why a built-in function doesn't do this instead, something like DB2's CONNECT, PL/I's SYSVERSION or LE's CEEGPID (or some standardized equivalent)?
