    Yes we will address.

    If you have your own control file which is not generated by ISAR, we
could update the
    standards version manually via STANDARDS_VERSION variable.

    If a control file generated by ISAR, then it automatically sets the
standards version
    based on the suite wise.

  Will send V3 with the concrete reason for why we have this updated
standards version.

   Many thanks,
