Allocate all storage that will be written to or read from DB2 in storage allocated below the bar. I've done this in C, so I have to think it's possible to do in COBOL. I see there is an ALLOCATE statement that can be used to get dynamic storage below the bar. In C, we use __malloc31(). Of course, it would be much better if DB2 would provide a 64-bit API. Now that C, COBOL and PL1 are able to run amode=64, I think there's a good argument to be made that this should be a priority. -- Don Poitras - SAS Development - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive sas...@sas.com (919) 531-5637Cary, NC 27513 -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

The problem with the shebang is that not all standard executables reside in the same directory. A problem with POSIX is tnat it permits this.

Re: ZOWE Open Editor - baby's first steps questions
OK, I have an error somewhere. I asked how I can save a PDS member back to z/OS. Went here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Zowe.vscode-extension-for-zowe#data-sets The GIF under section "Download, edit, and upload existing PDS members" shows an example of pulling MEMBER1 from z/OS, editing and saving it. It's pulled by clicking on the download cloud icon next to MEMBER1 in the ZOWE explorer window. To save back to z/OS, you're supposed to click on the upload cloud icon. My problem is that I have no upload cloud icon at all. Why? I have full access to the PDS I want to edit on the z/OS end. What's giving me read access but not update access here? My VS Code and ZOWE extensions are fully updated. Running z/OS 2.3. Help appreciated.

Tom Marchant and Frank Swarbrick provided a lot of good information in reply, but I'd like to add a few comments. The major value of AMODE 64 is how it helps programs deal straightforwardly with ever larger data sizes. Enterprise COBOL 6.3 introduces support for AMODE 64 batch programs, which is (of course) quite important. The introduction and expansion of AMODE 64 support is a multi-step journey, with many steps taken and some more steps to come. AMODE 31 was also a multi-step journey, still in some respects an ongoing "mopping up" operation I suppose. The Enterprise COBOL 6.3 announcement letter (219-404) lists the various current AMODE 64-related restrictions, and yes, there are some. Perhaps the release number is a purely coincidentally ironic one. :-) CICS Transaction Server Version 5.5 for z/OS supports AMODE 64 non-Language Environment Assembler programs as Frank Swarbrick pointed out. See IBM's CICS documentation references to EXEC CICS GETMAIN64, for example. CICS TS 5.5 also *only* supports the 64-bit Java SDK on z/OS, which naturally includes the Java programming language but also various JVM-based programming languages (NetREXX, Haskell, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Jython, JRuby, etc.) IBM discontinued support for the 31-bit Java SDK in CICS TS several CICS releases ago. So what can you do *today* if you have an immediate requirement for an AMODE 64 COBOL program per Tom Savor's comment, a program that must run both in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS and in non-CICS batch mode? Tom Marchant provides one answer that works today and is fully IBM supported: compile both AMODE 31 and AMODE 64 versions of the same COBOL program from the same source code. Invoke the former within CICS TS, and invoke the latter in (non-CICS) batch, assuming the program can otherwise run both inside and outside CICS TS. Before you dismiss this idea out of hand, let's recognize that many software vendors already do this and have for many years, for example when they compile and distribute "performance tuned" and "compatible" releases of their software products, each using different compiler parameters (ARCH, TUNE, etc., as applicable). Also, "debug" and "non-debug" versions, and "ABO'ed" and "non-ABO'ed." Importantly, it's not two versions of source code; it's only two versions post-compilation. There might be some more "clever" point-in-time options, but I'll need to do some more thinking and research. Maybe somebody else will beat me to the punch. For example, "thinking out loud" (frequently dangerous :-)), could you create a common Java "wrapper" that runs within CICS TS (i.e. in 64-bit Java) that then uses JNI to invoke an AMODE 64 LE COBOL program -- and with the same COBOL program also able to run in non-CICS batch? I've never tried it, and I haven't dug into it, so I don't know.
