Dear Steve
As I understand from your explanations, compiling COBOL in 64 bit mode is not
useful.
But the question is that this much of addressable of memory (64 Bit ) is for
what ?Because as I know most the applications in mainframe are developed by
COBOL and C.(Mostly COBOL)Best regardsManshadi

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.

Steve Thompson
