Is there any reason to have 64-bit
COBOL on z/OS ?
Of course except satisfaction when watching AMODE 64 in
ISPF member list...

Radoslaw:
The answer is always to write an assembler program to do it.
Just to add a quick note to that, a popular option
for our users is to write a quick-n-dirty C function
to handle the 64-bit data (directly callable from 31-bit
COBOL).
I'm just suggesting an alternative to an assembly program
that our users have found helpful.
