Well someone's got to ask: why do you want this number, rather than just testing the relevant feature bit before you try to use some instruction or feature? The only thing that comes to my mind is that you may want to dynamically invoke the C (or COBOL) compiler, passing it the ARCH(nn), but I think the default is the level of the current system in any case.
