Need to view 64 Bit Storage in CICS CEDF utilities

The various flavours of the CICS Execution Diagnostic Utility (CEDF) allow me to view storage with 31 bit addresses but increasingly I need to be able to view storage with 64 bit addresses.

For example a JCICS program placing data in a container will use EXEC CICS PUT64 CONTAINER and using CEDF I can see the start of the data being used for option FROM but not all. Pressing F2 to view in hex, displays the 64 bit pointer (see attachment) but using F5 to view working storage and entering the address results in only the first word being used.

This needs updating, preferably to recognise I have entered a 64 bit address (the input field is long enough) or, less ideally, allow me to somehow specify that I am supplying a 64 bit address first.
