GOAL:
Will r-code run against a lower major version then what it was compiled against?
GOAL:
Is r-code backward compatible
GOAL:
Can r-code that is compiled against 8.X run on a 7.X client?
FIX:
Rcode is never guaranteed to be backward compatible, although it's likely that code will be compatible between service pack releases and minor versions.
Rcode is not backward compatible with major releases. i.e.
Rcode compiled in 8.X will not run on 7.X.
Rcode compiled against 9.X will not run on 7.X or 8.X.
Anything 10.1B and above will likely need to be recompiled if moved to a lower release due to the introduction of 64-BIT integers.
