hmhhh. I would like to see a Cobol Prog based on the latest Cobol version which fails with Java 1.5.0 64bit. Well also the upcomming version of CTS 3.2 will support only the 31bit of JDK 1.5. So far I don't know about DB2 and also I don't see any performance improvement to run the 64bit. Some testcase for our existing java programs shows the 31bit version is much quicker.
Wonder if you could provide more info?

Given their inability to understand why we need 64 bit capability to communicate with 64 bit Java and the idiocy of not having native IEEE floating point in COBOL, again for Java communication, I'm not so optimistic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
