For example, if you use XYZ in C language but that support did not show up until z/OS V1.12. The shop installing the code is at z/OS 1.10. I would think that would cause an error for the customer. I had a case with a vendor product, where the developer used a cool new instruction. Unfortunately it was for a higher level of firmware than the CPU we were running on at the time. This caused an S0C4. This required a SEV1 immediate fix situation. I am not sure how much testing in the code that vendors need to do to support any level of hardware or software for their products. But I would think some would need to be done.
