It is normal that an RPG enhancement is not available for every target release. However, in the case of the enhancements to the PSDS, which only affect the RPG runtime, there is an issue with programs compiled on 7.3 with TGTRLS(V7R2M0). Those programs will run as expected when run on a 7.3 system, but would not run as expected when run on a 7.2 system without a 7.2 PTF. Therefore, IBM agrees with this request to also provide support for 7.2. However, IBM's plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
Note: Since 7.1 is out of service, no PTF will be provided for 7.1. When the 7.2 PTF is available, a program compiled for TGTRLS(V7R1M0) will run as expected on a 7.2 or 7.3 system, but it will not run as expected on a 7.1 system.
