Our auditors want to be able to display the RSU or maintenance level of our

You can get a good idea of your RSU level from SMPE panel 3.3
Enter your target zone and press enter.
The highest RSU listed is probably your maintenance level.
You can type S beside the RSU to see all the PTF's applied with that RSU.

We apply PUT maintenance, not RSU, but we have a usermod to update CVTVERID
with maintenance level. If you did that you could give the auditors some Rexx
code to display the value.
