IBM guarantees upward compatibility but not backward. You must always assemble 
your product with your lowest supported libraries (e.g. 2.4 AMACLIB, AMODGEN, 
MACLIB, MODGEN) otherwise the generated code may not be compatible with lower 
releases.

I believe I used name tokens in z/OS 1.8 but your minimum release libraries are 
you guide to which macro's are supported..

Some macros in the authorized assembler macro book don't require running 
authorized but are affected if you are running authorized. Name tokens is one 
of those. Name tokens are useful in all environments (including unauthorized) 
but when used in an authorized environment, you will want them secured 
otherwise you may have a security exposure.
