GOAL:
Is there any XCODE tool to run code with a lower version of Progress than the one used during development?
FIX:
No.
Say X < Y
If Version X cannot compile code made in Version Y, the problem will be the same with an XCODE'd source code, even with the Version Y XCODE. The point of XCODE is to encrypt source code in order to enable compilation on the file with a runTime license (non development licence), which is required when using argument based programming. (such as {1} sent to a called program)
On the other hand, the opposite is possible (running version X code with version Y product), provided that the code is recompiled or XCODE'd with version Y.
So the only options are to carry on developing with Version X or upgrade the production site to Version Y.
