For the COBOL version look at the top of a compile listing.

Hello,

I know of no "jcl version". . . .

Some systems use JES2 and some JES3 (which is usually near the bottom of the JESMSGLG sysout dataset), but that is not a jcl version.

Please clarify if some question remains.

Hi,

If you have Spufi in ur workshop, select the Option 7 (DB2 Commands)

You will get a blank screen as pointers, give the display command and hit enter (don't forgot to keep '-' before the display as below)

==> -DISPLAY GROUP

==>

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

Then i think you don't have DB2 command Permissions, better contact DBA to get that information.

Hi,

And as far as CICS is concerned, in all work shops i have seen the main screen will be designed with the version information as C I C S 6.3.0.

And i used to get this information from my Main Screen, i do agree that this depends on the wrokshop. But most of the work shop does display the current version may be it is an online standard.

Cheers
