Either a documented API (macro, LE call, callable service) or a reasonably 
straightforward control block chase is what I picture.

As I indicate, a table of 4-digit model numbers -> ARCH level is not out of the 
question. 4-digit model is obtainable from CSRSI.

I am currently hitting another problem. I will post that.

Amazing you get help so fast! Good for you!

Care to tell us what you could use? By peeking in an address somewhere by 
chasing the control blocks or using of a service/macro or looking at some 
parmlib member?

I believe I have seen a way via a command or looking in some parmlib member 
where you could see the ARCH level...

(I will RTFM of course later.)

Just curious if you don't mind please.
