I was going to gently suggest to Bob that he RTFM, but I checked the 1.6 FM myself and find that the message description doesn't help much.

  *IEW2606S* *MODULE* *INCORPORATES* feature_level *FEATURES* *AND* *CANNOT* 
*BE* *SAVED* *IN*
         format_level *FORMAT.*

*Explanation:* An attempt is being made to save a module in a format that is incompatible with the features being used. Certain characteristics of the module, such as symbol length or special classes, prevent it from being saved in the specified format. In the message text:

feature_level
   The "VERSION /n/ PROGRAM OBJECT" or "Z/OS V1R/n/ PROGRAM OBJECT".
   The first form is used for features introduced in OS/390 releases,
   and corresponds to PM numbers as defined by the COMPAT option.

format_level
   Can be "LOAD MODULE," "VERSION /n/ PROGRAM OBJECT," or "A Z/OS
   V1R/n/ COMPATIBLE PROGRAM OBJECT." A load module is stored in a
   standard PDS (DSNTYPE=PDS). A program object is stored in a LIBRARY
   or HFS file. The "VERSION /n/" form is used as described for
   feature_level.

*System* *Action:* The load module or program object cannot be saved.

*User* *Response:* Correct by (1) changing the target library (for example, SYSLMOD) to be of DSNTYPE=LIBRARY or HFS, and/or (2) removing the COMPAT option or changing it to specify a more recent level.

First, the "feature_level" doesn't include the "PROGRAM MANAGEMENT 3" text that Bob got. Second, it only speaks of DSNTYPE=LIBRARY, not the more commonly recognized term PDSE. Since Bob was not a PDSE user, it would require more research to understand what DSNTYPE=LIBRARY means. So, Bob, you did the right think by asking here.
