A new version that doesn't affect the generated code may have an IFREQ that affects the run-time environment. But it's not my dog.

A new version may simply be new features, none affecting any features the old version supported. ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Charles Mills <charl...@mcn.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2020 2:09 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Subject: Re: Migrating to new compiler release > My question has to do with the (probably slight) possibility that the code generated by one compiler would be different, for the same statement, for another. It certainly would. If the code generated for every statement was the same for both compilers, then there would be no difference between the two.

Conceivably it's still possible that the code generated by a certain version of a compiler may have defects. Probably less likely if the code is in a pre-existing feature. My question has to do with the (probably slight) possibility that the code generated by one compiler would be different, for the same statement, for another. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
