No problemo!

We do this all the time. Our dev box is a 510 at v4r1. We have various v3r2
boxes, as well as a v3r7 and another v4r1. Absolutely no problem, so long
as you use the TGTRLS parameter, as you seem you be doing. Be sure to use
the appropriate TGTRLS on your save files, too. We use Aldon's CMS change
management system, which handles the save file issue automatically. It does
not, however, handle the TGTRLS for creating objects.

I _would_ question using a server box like the 50S. You could get poor
interactive performance. Admittedly it's supposed to be better now, but we
got bit verrry badly with a 50S. If you can keep your interactive CPU % <
10%, you'll probably be OK.
