API's & Compiling to Prev Release

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

The API header files, in general, do not provide release specific
information; so the compilers will not be able to warn you about certain
APIs (or API functional enhancements) not being available to you on a
given release.  You will need to review the V3R2 System API Reference
to verify the level of APIs available to you; and obviously do some
V3R2 testing of your generated code.

This is an area that may change in the future, but such release
tracking would most likely not be retrofitted to existing releases.
