Did some more digging. First ppropdef.h is only included for VMS 7.3-1 and higher (lines 48-50) #if __CRTL_VER >= 70301000 && !defined(__VAX) #include <ppropdef.h> #endif so the macros area really not to be expected to be available to the code in the first place for 7.3. Now, the include is also available on 7.3 (and most probably earlier, the comments in the code indicate it is around at least since 2001), but the macros needed here are not yet defined in the module. So, yes if you do want to avoid version checking in the code, it most probably would be best to check for definedness of the macros. All the best, Martin Dr. Martin P.J.
