I believe this is more of a limitation of CICS itself and not COBOL. Neither C/C++ nor PL/I 64-bit applications are supported under CICS. Even for assembler only non-LE programs are allowed to use AMODE(64).

CICS is not 64-bit supported. I have many DB2 programs that run Batch and Online, so I guess they will have to be forced to run as 31-bit.
