BTW, it would be good if z/Arch had a similar option. ie you can configure the hardware so that any attempt to activate AM24 can be overridden to instead activate AM31/32/64. Similarly an override for any attempt to activate AM31, and a downgrade option for AM64 to activate AM24/31/32. That way you can set all the overrides to AM64 and ensure that everything running on your system is AM64-compliant, and the system never leaves AM64. A z/OS shop would become a pure AM64 environment. Unlike Windows and x64 hardware, 32-bit software can be run natively under AM64. It doesn't need a special mode. Basically z/Arch hardware is superior to x64 and this would be a great selling point I think - a pure 64-bit environment, even when running 32-bit software. BFN.
