Not entirely true.   REGION=0M can get you 64-bit MEMLIMIT.  It's all very
confusing,  but this APAR for z/OS 1.7 and z/OS 1.8 explains the 
behavior as of z/OS 1.9:


  APAR Identifier ...... OA14391      Last Changed ........ 06/07/20
  DEFAULT MEMLIMIT FOR JOBS STARTED WITH REGION=0 THAT HAVE REGION
   SUBSEQUENTLY LIMITED BY IEFUSI.
