Question

Can COBOL for AIX use the extra features for 64bit addressing for UDB on IBM AIX?

Answer

COBOL version 1.n.n.n or version 2.0.0.n requires that DB2 use 32-bit mode features.

COBOL for AIX Version 1.1.0.n became unsupported as of September 30, 2005.

COBOL for AIX Version 3.1.n.n will support many 64-bit features of DB2 but please read its announcement letter 209-021 of January 6, 2009.

COBOL for AIX Version 4.1.1.n will support many 64-bit features of DB2 but please read its announcement letter 211-349 of October 4, 2011.
