Question:

How can I determine the VISION:Transact release of an existing application?

 

Environment

Release:
Component: V:TRNS

Resolution

Answer:

To find out what release of VISION:Transact, previously known as MARK V,  was used to generate an application
you can dump the @@FIVEPF CSECT in the application program load module. 
The 2 bytes of data at offset X'01FC' in this CSECT will tell you the release number as follows:

X'030C' = Rel 7.8

X'02EE' = Rel 7.5

X'02BC' = Rel 7.0

X'028A' = Rel 6.5

X'0258' = Rel 6.0

X'4040' = Rel 5.0

 

The following sequence of TSO TEST commands will do the job: 

TEST data.set.name(memname)

LIST memname.@@FIVEPF.+1FC LEN(2)

END

The data that is listed will indicate the release number under which the application was genned.
