How do I determine what OS level I'm at?

Question:

We have just received a system that had been somewhere else.  We 
don't really know anything about it.  Is there a way to determine
what operating system level it is running?

Response:

Had the customer enter the following:

\# oslevel

This showed that the system was at 3.2.5.

Also, the following is information for determining each level
of AIX:

 HOW TO Tell Level of AIX 3.2
  BASE 3.2.0  lslpp -h U401864
 ----------
 If PTF U401864 is installed and no other PTF's, then the level is 3.2.0
  AIX 3.2.1   lslpp -h bos.obj
 ---------
 If there are two or more PTF's then the level is 3.2.1 (read further)
  AIX 3.2.2  lslpp -h U403173
 ---------
 If PTF U403173 is installed, then the level of AIX is 3.2.2
  AIX 3.2.3 BASE  lslpp -h U409490
 --------------
 If PTF U409490 is installed, then the level of AIX is 3.2.3 BASE
  AIX 3.2.3 Extended  lslpp -h U411711
 ------------------
 If PTF U411711 is installed, then the level of AIX is 3.2.3 Extended
  AIX 3.2.4 BASE  lslpp -h U493240   or  lslpp -m bos.obj
 ---------------
 If PTF U493240 is installed, then the level of AIX is 3.2.4
  AIX 3.2.5 BASE  lslpp -h U493250   or lslpp -m bos.obj
 ---------------
 If PTF U493250 is installed, then the level of AIX is 3.2.5
  Be careful about using oslevel, it will sometimes give you a false level of
 AIX. 
  Example:
 If my system is at 3.2.0 and I install U422463, oslevel will show
 my system at \<3250.  Most of the system is still at 3.2.0.
