Maybe yes, maybe no. IBM's stated direction for 64-bit applications generated by Cobol is that they will be XPLINK-64. AFAIK, if you want a non-XPLINK LE-enabled program to call an XPLINK program, you have to create a new enclave. Same with XPLINK-64 calling XPLINK or XPLINK calling XPLINK-64. XPLINK programs can call non-XPLINK programs that are not LE enabled, but the overhead of the call is rather high. And if you have a Cobol program you probably make quite a few non-XPLINK calls. For example, GET and PUT routines. > >Scott > >On Thursday, March 31, 2016, Tom Marchant < >[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Thu, 31 Mar 2016 22:17:40 -0400, Don Poitras <[email protected] >> <javascript:;>> wrote: >> >> >In article <[email protected] >> <javascript:;>> you wrote: >> > >> >> Yes, it uses 64-bit addressing, so has much more available space, >> specifically for large programs, including generated ones. >> > >> >If so, they didn't make it obvious in the announcement.
