For our site and the modules which we write ourselves (no third party
software),
it's zero percent. We started migration to 31-bit in the mid 80s and -
like PL/1 -
dropped support for 24-bit ASSEMBLER modules at some certain point in time
in the last five years. We only support it for some third party software
which we
need absolutely and which our management forces us to use. But this count's
for less than 1 %, given the number of modules or CPU cycles.

I saw a discussionon IBM-MAINrecently about how many MVS TCBs was "too
many" MVS TCBs in an address space.

System control blocks like TCB, located in LSQA below 16MB, will likely
never be moved above 16MB since it's still possible for a 24-bit program
to load PSATOLD and reference GUPI fields in the TCB.

This got me wondering about just how much AMODE(24) code is still out
there--not only for z/OS but for other operating systems as well. Any
ideas? Are most programs still 24-bit? Half of them? Ten percent or less?
