Sure, but Joe isn't asking to use new %bifs nor to use new features that need 
new run-time routines nor new machine instructions. He just wants to use a 
different format for his source records. It seems to me that the compiled 
object will be exactly the same in this case, so target release seems like a 
strange constraint.

It's almost as if you're saying that the actual V4R4 compiler will be used just 
because he says TGTRLS(V4R4M0)!!!

Oh... wait... Never mind.  :-)
