What is IBM's strategy for migrating code execution to be above the bar? Has 
IBM released any documents detailing the next steps, or is this confidential?

Currently data areas above the bar are widely used but program execution above 
the bar is not currently supported. Other posts have suggested that Cobol will 
soon support 64 bit execution but not only for modules loaded  below the bar 
and that 64 bit Cobol is unlikely to be widely used as it is not compatible 
with 31 bit Cobol and has performance issues.

Does anybody know if IBM plans to run system modules above the bar? I would be 
interested in hearing any comments/insights on this topic?
