What would that mean, exactly? Their libraries certainly do QSAM I/O under the covers, and parts of QSAM are firmly rooted in the world of 24 bits. But none of them let you build AMODE or RMODE 24 programs (do they?). It is certainly possible to write XLC programs that interface with the 24-bit world. I have several HLASM-written QSAM interfaces that I call from XLC C++. I have written XC C++ code that interfaced with below-the-line TSO APIs.
