IBM i has always only supported X-2. Since you are at 7.3 that leaves only 7.1 as what you can compile to. The only exception to the X-2 rule was compiling down to V3R2 for a long time but even that was closed many releases ago.
You have a few choices.
My favorite is to upgrade all your targets to something higher than 6.1.
An alternative is to spin up a lpar running something lower than 7.3.
Or get a hosted lpar running something lower than 7.3
Or work out a discount to some customer to have him compile it for you (if you are a vendor).

Subject: Problem with specifying previous release 6.1
I am currently running 7.3 on my machine. Is there any way to allow a compile command (CRTCLMOD, CRTCLPGM, etc.) to specify target release 6.1?
It currently only allows 7.1 and higher and I need to be able to compile a program to run on a 6.1 machine.yes, I know 6.1 is out of support but that doesn't mean it isn't still in use.
