For example, when HLASM Release 5.0 is being used, this field has the value "1.5.0". The value of the field is set to the value of the system variable &SYSVER.

PTF level

This is an 8 byte field which contains the current PTF level of the assembler being used to assemble the source module. For example, when the last PTF applied to the assembler was UQ12345 this field will have the value: UQ12345.

System ID

This is a 16 byte field which contains the name and release of the operating system under which your source module is being assembled. For example, on an MVS™ system, the field might contain the value "MVS/ESA SP 5.1.0". The value of the field is set to the value of the system variable &SYSTEM_ID.
