If this is really old code, what difference does it make if it runs in AMODE(24). I'm sure code that old wouldn't take up enough storage cause any problems. Who said anything about storage problems? I sure didn't. I would be more concerned about addressability. - Too busy driving to stop for

There is ABSOLUTELY no way that you will get an Enterprise COBOL CICS program to work if it is marked as AMODE(24). All the IGY and CEE routines that it will need to run will have problems. You could get an RMODE program, but that isn't what you are asking for. If the programmer wants to force

I just wanted to CORRECT the erroneous statement that I made below. If an Enterprise COBOL program is statically link-edited with an AMODE(24) program, it will of course be marked as AMODE(24) - and will work that way. It still is NOT what I would recommend in this situation, but I did want to
