I can't help myself, but no z compilers are truly "64-bit", none of them support RMODE 64. Many of our compilers support AMODE 64. For COBOL, we added AMODE 64 support in V6.3, via the LP(64) option. I would have preferred an "AMODE(64)" option, because who cares about Long Pointers? Anyway, C/C++ were first, PL/I was second, they both used LP as the option for AMODE, so COBOL went along for the ride :-) (And to be consistent across the IBM z compilers) Cheers, TomR (AKA Captain COBOL :-) >> COBOL is the Language of the Future! << ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
