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,
