I am also confused - The only interface to 64 bit virtual that I know of is media manager code for VSAM - as used by IMS or DB2.
All the rest of the access methods support 31bit virtual with 64 bit real addresses. This means no more thrashing around in Z/os looking for a below the line real buffer for IO. The other method for 64 bit virtual IO is EXCP or STARTIO because both methods allow you to translate the address to 64bit real address. at which point it doesn't matter whether the virtual address was 64 or 31.

This is not a flame - please - all these 64 bit supporters. Can you please name a single access method which can do direct asynchromous or synchronous I/O to a 64 bit address space directly from a device using device independent code. Something similar to DIV. A pointer to a sample code will be great. I hope I am not asking too much?
