Thanks to a whole bunch of people.
The response was:
This is the way uname works. It never reports the letter of the version.
You can get that from the rev number. So in my case:
# uname -r -v
V4.0 464
The 464 means that I am running 4.0A
I was givin another way to determine your version number that several
people pointed out:
# strings /vmunix | grep -i "(rev"
It is also reported in the startup messages in uerf and the /etc/motd.
Thanks everyone!

My original request:
I recently upgraded fro 3.2D-1 to 4.0 then to 4.0A. If I do a
search through uerf startup messages, you can clearly see it is at 4.0A:
# uerf -R | grep Digital | more
Digital UNIX V4.0A (Rev. 464);
Digital UNIX V4.0A (Rev. 464);
Digital UNIX V4.0A (Rev. 464);
Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 386); Sat
Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 386); Sat
Digital UNIX V3.2D-1 (Rev. 41);
Digital UNIX V3.2D-1 (Rev. 41);
Also, the /etc/motd also reports being at 4.0A
But, when I recently went to perform a patch on the system and it
told me to verify that we were at 4.0A by using uname:
# uname -r -v
V4.0 464
Why would uname report only being at v4.0? Which one is correct
or did the update install from 4.0 to 4.0A not work for some reason
correctly?
Any advice into where to identify exactly what version I am running would
be graciously accepted.
