Of course it's not all due to a lot of executable code. It's much more complex than that. Like most things in life, there are mixtures of causes.
Changing CICS is going to take a lot of time and effort, and some work has obviously already been done. I personally believe the priority of 64-bit exploitation should have been much higher, but I'm certain the development team has pressure on it from lots of source.

I agree. CICS has to start supporting overthebar_DSA and 64 bit mode. -- Binyamin Dissen <[email protected]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
