Compiled Programs Under V5R4 - Work in V5R3?

["Brian Piotrowski" <bpiotrowski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

Within the next month we will be taking delivery of a brand new 520E to
replace our aging 720 box.  I just finished reading an article on IT
Jungle that v5r4 will now allow SQL statements in free-form (about
time!).

 

Now the question - our old 720 will be demoted to a DRP box.  I know
that V5R3 will be the highest version of the O/S I can put on this box.
My question is if we put V5R4 on the 520 and V5R3 on the 720, will
compiled programs still work on V5R3?  I'd like to move the code over to
the free form SQL, but I will not do it at the cost of having the
programs fail on the DRP machine if the time comes that we need to use
it.  I assume I will not be able to modify code on the 720 box if we
move to v5r4, but is that the only limitation?

 

Any opinions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!


Brian.
