Enable IBM Navigator for i to access servers running older OS releases

Using the latest IBM Navigator for i and adding a node to our V7R2 server no information on CPU usage etc. was returned. Clicking on the "View SQL" and then running that SQL via ACS returned the expected information. Turns out the actual SQL executed is NOT the SQL returned when you "View SQL". Seems IBM Navigator for i now uses an object that doesn't exist on V7R2. Idea is to query the node to determine the functionality available BEFORE returning the data to the user OR a suitable error message. For example you could use either ENV_SYS_INFO or PTF_INFO. You could show the OS Release Level in the "Node Box".
