PanAudit Plus Easytrieve Report Generator PAN/SQL

Issue/Introduction

What is the best way to confirm which release and service pack of the Easytrieve product is being used?
Also, based on the release, where is the IVP job for this product?

Environment

Easytrieve Plus Report Generator, release 6.4
Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

Resolution

Run any programs with the debugging parms and see in the listing the actual release and service pack being run for the program.

Add after the //SYSIN DD statement in the JCL on the very first line of the CA Easytrieve source, include these parameters (three lines) on the PARM statement or to an existing PARM statement:
LIST ON MACROS
PARM DEBUG(PMAP DMAP STATE XREF LONG) ABEXIT NO SORT(MSG(ALL))+
LIST FILE
 
and ddanmes:
//IDIOFF   DD  DUMMY   IBM FAULT ANALYZER OFF 
//ABNLIGNR DD  DUMMY   ABEND-AID OFF               
//ESPYIBM  DD  DUMMY   EYE-SPY OFF                 
//CAOESTOP DD  DUMMY   CA-OPT II & CA-SYMDUMP OFF         
//DMBENAN  DD  DUMMY   TURN OFF DUMPMASTER         
//PSPOFF   DD  DUMMY   TURN OFF SOFTWORKS PERFORMANCE ESSENTIAL 

This will tell for sure at least for that program which release is running.
Any program will be fine.

For release 11.6, the IVP JCL/program is found in the highlevelqualifier.CBAAJCL(JOB08DEM).
For release 6.4, the IVP JCL/program is found in the highlevelqualifer.INSTALL.JCL.PDS(JOB7).
