Sadly, TSO TEST is a *very* long way from supporting 64-bit
addressing. You can't even list a 64-bit register or enter a 64-bit
address.

I like to think of TEST as the "vi" of MVS. It's installed everywhere,
and klunky and infuriating as it is, you can always rely on being able
to use it for all kinds of basic things at any site. But as 64-bit
moves slowly into the mainstream, there is no backup for it.

Does this imply that TSO TEST supports 64-bit addressing?

At the time that IDF support for 64-bit addressing was written,
z/OS did not support code running above 4GB, so my guess would
be that this would be likely to encounter problems.  We do not
have a test case for this environment at present.
