IBM no longer supports 31-bit operating systems. So, why should they insist on that for their sub-systems?
Exactly so! Every z/OS release since September 2004 requires z/Architecture. And, a mere nine months from now, the ESA/390 platform will be completely desupported by z/OS. Why on earth would those involved in a major DB2 rewrite, targeted for generally availability *after* September 2004, waste time "dual pathing" all of their code for an obsolescent environment? It doesn't make sense!
