PWD people can get z/OS running 64-bit mode. Commercial users are still limited to running z/OS in 31-bit mode. However, I think that the newest instructions are available even in 31-bit mode. I've also heard some rumors on the FLEX forum that there is a true 64-bit host version of FLEX (Athlon64 and EM64T processors in 64 bit mode) that cannot be rolled out yet because IBM has not (yet) permitted it. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
