Impressed with the depth on this list from the contributors.  I am getting back 
into the z-series software and application development after years of being in 
another domain.

Here is a very broad question: when you guys/girls are moving your app 
portfolio from one hardware platform to another (say, z14 to z15), to what 
extend are the apps compatible with the new platform without recompilation?

There are many answers, let me also do this:

You said "Code". That could mean many different things, let's assume you mean application code, written in COBOL or PL/I. You also said "changing platform". Let's assume we talk about EC12 -> z15, or z13 -> z15, or z14 -> z15, but not ES9000 to z15 or AS/400 to z15.
In that case YOU DON'T HAVE TO RECOMPILE the code. It will work.
However new compilers can give you better performance when you recompile the code with parameter "platform=z15". Note: such code will no work on older platform, but it will work on newer platform. The assumption is simple: it is likely you will move from current machine to next model. It is unlikely you will move back.
