Find out which release you're running

To use the tutorial, you need to have MPE/iX Release 4.5 or greater installed on your system. You can find out what release is running by asking your system manager or by using the SHOWVAR command.

   :showvar hpversion

   HPVERSION = C.45.00

If the HPVERSION is C.45.00 or later, continue with the tutorial.
