The simple answer to the "problem child" case is not "don't do that", but
instead:
If you use it, you save it and restore it for your caller. Don't expect anyone
else to save it, so if you really need it after you get started then save again
in your own storage before you call someone else who

There are really *three* kinds of module: those that are AMODE 64, those that

The following is just my personal $0.02USD worth. I speak for myself only and

Just like any other new version of the COBOL compiler, 64-bit addressing
support must be able to be phased in, subroutine by subroutine. Forcing all
subroutines in a main program to become 64-bi

An interesting question to ask is: if it were available in 64-bit but mixing

Just an easy question - does anyone know if COBOL can be 64 bit or is it still
only 31 bit?
