Abstract
One of the key enhancements available in z/OS V1R6 is 64-bit application development support for C/C++. With 64-bit support, applications can take advantage of the expanded 1 million TB address space. In this IBM Redpaper, we introduce C/C++ programming in a 64-bit environment, examine changes to the z/OS Language Environment, discuss migrating to 64-bit, and consider Java 64-bit programming.
