Re: Enterprise COBOL 6.3 and IBM Programmer Tools

If I read the Manual correctly, only Batch is 64-bit supported. 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. Thanks, Tom Savor -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On
