On z/OS 2.2 or later, the result from STFLE is stored in the PSA at offset 200
(X'C8') - look at IHAPSAE field name FLCEFACILITIESLIST (and this is a PI
field)
Kind regards

Use the IBM-supplied IEABRCX copy member (Found in SYS1.MACLIB; IEABRCX DEFINE,
then IEABRCX ENABLE) to convert base-reg branches to relative branches.
I also recommend using SYSSTATE ARCHLVL=2 or even 3 if your hardware is current
enough. YMMV.

The major difference is that Rocket offer enterprise support for their

There's a hazard. Customers come to fear possible collateral
This doc (url below) will give you a list of what is available/supported on
different generations of the current System z. However if you want to know
about a specific system you have then discuss with your IBM Rep who will be
able to give you a complete list of features (VPD) for your System.
Yes, with STFL.

In Linux, the package version, sub-version, and sub-sub-version level
indicate maintenance level and play a role roughly analogous to highest
PTF level, with each new maintenance level of a package fixing one or
more numbered bug reports, which are a rough analogy to an APAR. So

Can we detect if a specific feature is available in the current hardware?

They do, however, have the concept of dependency among packages. The
configuration control software that I mentioned does quite a bit more.
Are they as powerful as SMP? No, but they fill a similar niche.

I coined the term "stupidity above and beyond the call of duty" for such
incidents. Richard Feynman (ז״ל) would have referred to it as "cargo cult
systems programming".
