Decades ago, one of our divisions always claimed to be too busy to let us do an OS upgrade. Didn't stop me from upgrading. He got to the point where he was past the X-2 and we had all the source, etc.
Got to do the upgrade shortly after that. Hardware was not the issue.

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.
