There is always the approach of running the program. ABEND S0C1 indicates that you need a newer box (or better programmers).
I suppose an arguably good corporate standard might be to require embedding the required ARCH level in programs as a readable EBCDIC constant.

These IBM- listservs are a truly fine resource. ('the power of many brains working!') I will probably end up doing some flavor of opcode evaluation, and assumed, maybe erroneously, that opcode evaluation would be simpler/cleaner to implement than parsing or scanning source (which is available). I generally feel more comfortable working with machine/product outputs rather than the curveballs humans sometimes throw. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
