    Hi,
    I have some c++ components compiled on AIX 5.3 TL 7. If the OS is upgraded to TL12, would they need a recompile? or would they work as is?
    Any doc link that I can refer to to understand the IBM AIX compatibility information?

    Assuming that good programming practices were used, the programs should work on the newer level with no problem,
    Link to compatibility guidelines can be found at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/compatibility/conditions/index.html
