To be more specific... V7.2-1 - all ECO patches are current.

Can I transfer this code from V7.3-2 to V7.2?

I have access to the OS version.

   Can you backport the SPL spinlock-tracking code to V7.2?  No.

   The furthest backwards that this SPL.COM spinlock-tracing tool can "go" is 
V7.2-1H1, as that's where the underlying tracing tools were added into OpenVMS 
and into SDA.

Don't think so. SPL.COM only invokes the SPL SDA extension (which is said to
be there since V7.2-1H1) and I don't think you have it, but I may be wrong...

Why not trying it (on your test machine of course ;-)
