Dear Users,
In my software package I have two executables Program1 and Program2. Program1 calls Program2 using runqq. Program 2 finishes and control is given back to Program1, which continues the execution.
Both Program1 and Program2 are 32bit applications. However, I would like to port the software into 64bit. I plan to port Program2 first. I have read Andrew Binstock's "Programming with Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology", cover to cover so I am aware of the potential pitfalls but I am unclear on a few issues:
- If Program1 is 32bit and Program2 is 64bit, then will Program2 be able to address more memory than 2GB or will it be constrained to the memory limitations of the Program1?
- If the latter is true, is there anotherway of overcoming this issue, or do I have to port Program1 to 64 bit as well?
Thank you for your time on this.
Daniel.

RUNQQ runs the programs independently - it doesn't matter what the mix of 32-bit and 64-bit is.

Thank you Steve.
It's just what I hoped for.
