The Retrieve  System  Description command  retrieves information  about
the  system such  as  the serial  number, system  type,  model, feature
code, feature group, number of processors, system name, etc.

A typical command would be:

             DCL         &FTRGRP *CHAR LEN(4)
              .
             RTVSYSD     FTRGRP(&FTRGRP)
             IF          (&FTRGRP *EQ 'P05') DO ...

   RELEASE       The  Release of the  system.  The  value is taken from
                 'System Level'  for  QCMD  in  QSYS.   It  appears  as
                 VxRxMx.   This is an optional return  variable that if
                 used must be specified as *CHAR LEN(6).

   LICRLS        The  Release of the  LIC.  This is  an optional return
