(sorry for omitting the "F" from the subject line previously) It is confirmed that in order to DETACH a 64-bit memory object you must specify AFFINITY=SYSTEM,V64COMMON=YES (otherwise the request fails)
This is certainly not obvious, but it is what it is, and likely cannot be changed compatibly. By all means ask that the doc for REQUEST=DETACH make it clear that you must specify this, and ask that the doc for REQUEST=DETACH,AFFINITY= be fixed.
