USING HP32208 

You may call this intrinsic in order to get the current version, update,
and fix numbers of the KSAM/3000 that is currently being used.  The
intrinsic FGETKEYINFO returns the version, update, and fix number of a
KSAM file at the time the file is created (refer to words 16/17 of the
ksamcontrol parameter, Table 4-4).  The version, update, and fix number
of a KSAM file at creation is also returned by the VERIFY command (refer
to section II). You can call HP32208 to get the KSAM version you are
using in order to compare it with the version at file creation of a file
you are accessing.

Another reason for calling HP32208 is if you want to convert the version,
update, and fix numbers to display values so they can be listed for
documentation purposes.
