AIX 6.1 app running on 5.x?

Hi,

A quick question. If I build an application on AIX 6.1 TL3 using XL C/C++ 8.0 and Oracle 10g, can I then take those binaries and run them on AIX 5.3 and previous?

Regards
Kevin

If you don't use any special facility or library that was newly introduced with AIX 6.1 than you should be fine.

Kind regards

Would that be in 64bit mode only, or can an app built on 6.1 run in 32 bit mode on 5.3? (assuming no special features are used...)

a 64bit package runs on 64bit boxes - a 32bit package runs on 32- and 64bit boxes. Current hardware supports all 64bit ...
