There are existing SHARE requirements for a 3 phased approach to "mixed 31-/64-bit" LE support 1) Document what actually works today (as Assembler can "shift" something needs to document what happens when "both sides" activate LE applications 2) SUPPORT fixed 31-/-64 but with separately owned LE resources on both sides 3) Full mixed mode application support *** As we haven't even seen "phase 1" implemented yet, I don't know how soon I will expect phases 2 or 3. I am, however with you that providing 64-bit COBOL support for applications that are TOTALLY 64-bit and can't "communicate easily/transparently" with 31-bit code is a "non-starter" for real world use in z/OS COBOL shops. I suppose, I wouldn't object to seeing it, but if IBM used lack of interest/use of it to delay providing MIXED 31-/64-bit support, then I would definitely NOT be happy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
