<snip> It would seem to me that if IBM is to move in the direction of new symbols it should move the emphasis to "feature Booleans" rather than a new level variable. </snip>
I agree with that -- the question usually worth asking is "is this feature available to me now" (a la the z/OS feature bits in the CVT -- although those also have bits for each release). But the odds are extremely slim that REXX will be enhanced for RACF purposes. Since all such feature indications are easily visible in the RCVT, and the relevant bit(s) are the intended way for a program to tell, a REXX exec could/should examine those bits rather than a release value. Maybe someone will create a CBT item to accomplish the query in a "pretty" way.
