  ****************************************************************
  SYSADATA Information is not currently available
  in the binary metadata, so users of IBM watsonx
  Code Optimization Advice must provide the
  SYSADATA files separately for program analysis.
  Users now have the flexibility to control whether
  to include the SYSADATA information in the binary
  metadata.
