Problem Note 4358: Macro variable &SYSSCPL returns incorrect value on zSeries machines
If you are running a pre-OS/390 version of the operating system, the
automatic macro variable &SYSSCPL returns the value "MVS". The value
returned for an OS/390 version is "OS/390". However, for sites running
Release 8.1 under z/OS V1R1 (or above), the &SYSSCPL automatic macro
variable incorrectly returns a value of "MVS" instead. For example, a
similar note to the one below appears at the top of the SAS log:
NOTE: This session is executing on the MVS SP7.0.1 platform.
To correct this problem, apply the zap referenced by Z8014358 for
Release 8.1 TSLEVEL 1M0. Notice that after the zap is applied, a note
similar to this one will appear:
NOTE: This session is executing on the z/OS V01R04M00 platform.
and the value that &SYSSCPL returns is "z/OS".
This problem is fixed in Release 8.2 TSLEVEL 2M0 of the SAS System.

| SAS System | Base SAS | z/OS | 8.1 TS1M0 | 8.2 TS2M0 |

For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
