Determining PALcode version from OpenVMS?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Forgive me, but...
 
Is there anyway I can Show the PALcode level on a running system without
getting to the >>> prompt?
 
Thanks

ps.  I searched the site for "PAL" and didn't find the answer to this
seemingly easy question... Did I miss it?

The Answer is :

 
  The SHOW CPU/FULL command will display the Alpha PALcode version.
 
  The DCL lexical function f$getsyi("PALCODE_VERSION") -- as well as the
  equivalent system service -- can be used to acquire the PALcode version
  from within an application.
