    Although this is a long term objective to be able to support RMODE(64), this RFE is being rejected as it will not be able to be addressed in the next two releases. Firstly z/OS does not yet support RMODE(64), secondly RMODE(64) would require AMODE(64), thirdly AMODE(64) support is a aim of CICS but requires both compiler support and Language environment support

    Supporting RMODE(64) requires a lot of things to be in place first.

    Firstly z/OS does not yet support RMODE(64).

    Secondly RMODE(64) would require AMODE(64).

    Thirdly AMODE(64) support is a aim of CICS but requires both compiler support and Language environment support
