When preparing to upgrade your application and/or tools to a more recent release or when reporting a runtime
problem like an abort, the current version of your application, tools and even MPE should be noted. Usually this is
documented in the PATCHDOC file of upgrade patches. Lets see how this can be done, in reverse order.
MPE:To see the version of MPE, enter the command SHOWME.

This shows that I am on MPE 5.5.
Application:To see the version of your application, print the file VERSNID.PUB from your application account. If you have
HPPO, then you need to print the file VERSHPPO.PUB of your MM account.:PRINT VERSNID.PUB.MMHP HP32260C.00.00N P PUB TOOLTEST HP MATERIALS MANAGEMENT :PRINT VERSHPPO.PUB.MMHP HP34006C.00.01 PUB TOOLTEST HP PurchasingThis file contains several pieces of information.

number on the left and the associated tools account name on the right. The second line contains the title of the
application.Product number: HP32260 Version: C.00.00N Tools account: TOOLTEST Product name: HP MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Product number: HP34006 Version: C.00.01 Tools account: TOOLTEST Product name: HP PurchasingTools:In the group SYSPGM in your tools account you should find the program VERSIONP, if your tools are still in
compatibility mode, CM, or VERSNMP, if your tools are in native mode, NM. By running either of these
programs, your tools product number and version are printed.FILENAME CODE ------------LOGICAL RECORD----------- ----SPACE---- SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT R/B SECTORS #X MX VERSIONP PROG 128W FB 7 7 1 16 1 1 VERSNMP NMPRG 128W FB 359 359 1 368 1 8 :RUN VERSIONP.SYSPGM.TOOLTEST;LIB=G HP32265C.00.00I End Run :RUN VERSNMP.SYSPGM.TOOLTEST;LIB=G HP32265C.00.00I End RunIf you have both version programs, they MUST return the same info.
