For z/OS, the programming interface for determining if vectors are
available is 

  SYS1.MACLIB(CVT) 
CVTVEF   EQU   X'80'         Vector Extension Facility             @NUA

  This will be on when you are on at least z/OS 2.1, and this bit is on:

 BROWSE    SYS1.MACLIB(IHAFACL) 
Facl_VectorExtensionFacility EQU X'40' Bit 129. z13 Even if this bit   *
                                   is on, do not use the VEF unless    *
                                   bit CVTVEF is on.
