Is there any reason to have 64-bit COBOL on z/OS ?
Of course except satisfaction when watching AMODE 64 in ISPF member
list...
Perhaps not in a homogeneous programming world in which COBOL is your
only programming language. But, don't you need 64-bit support to be able
to share data with other programs, written in other languages, that
leverage 64-bit support? I'm thinking about parameter lists, addresses
of in-storage tables, etc. Also, doesn't the run-time (LE) have some
all-or-nothing restrictions on the addressing mode of the programs it
supports within an address space?
