Requesting for 64bit version of the C++ Zap

We're using Hourglass V7.1 on Z/OS 2.3
The application programmers have introduced a new version of an existing legacy program. The new code is not picking up hourglass date. The only difference between the batch jobs is the application program.

The IBI folks were able to successfully implement the 31bit jobs with the current set of C++Zaps (AGG$CPP) and get altered timestamp, it appears the client's 64bit testcase requires a 64 bit version of the C++ Zap. So we request you to provide us the 64 bit version of C++ Zap.

Please refer to PMR ID TS005028626 for more details.
