I (like the other poster) would like to know what you would do with AMODE 64
COBOL?
Also, does everyone realize that AMODE 64 code will run slower than AMODE 31
code?

Well, if one is interfacing with another IBM product that has its
data above the BAR, then I could see COBOL needing to be able to
get to that storage.
CICS and Java apps come to mind.
As for running slower, isn't that a function of the multi-level
DAT for support of chained segment tables to handle 64bit addressing?
IF 64bit is that much slower, that you would have to give a
warning, shouldn't that warning have been given to the C/C++ and
Java crowd? OK, the C/C++ crowd? And the HLASM and PLX (or PL/AS,
or whatever name it has now) programmers?
It seems that being slower did not / does not seem to slow down
CICS/TS 5.x or DB2. Just say'n.
