Check the Endevor ENCOPTBL table to see if the   ENHOPT NO_VERSION_LEVEL  option is turned on :
 

* OC01482                                                               
* THIS OPTIONAL PTF WILL REMOVE THE VERSION/LEVEL SCL SYNTAX FROM       
* THE SCL GENERATED BY THE BATCH AND PACKAGE ONLINE SCL BUILDING        
* ROUTINE FOR RETRIEVE.                                                 
*                                                                       
*---------------------------------------------------------------------* 
*        ENHOPT NO_VERSION_LEVEL=ON                                     
*                                                                       

It is turned on if there is no astrick  in column 1.

To turn this option off again, comment out the line by putting an astrick in column 1 and reassembling the table.
