[Info-vax] 64 bit DCL ?

[JF Mezei]

Just wondering out-bit  (instead of out-loud :-)

If DCL integer values were suddently moved to 64 bits, whould existing
code that only looks at 32 bits break ? (for instance doing bit tricks
within DCL or would having extra high order bits not make a difference ?

or would the move to 64 bit integers be more or less transparent for
most DCL (VAXman need not apply, he doesn't do "normal" :-)

If it does cause trouble, what sort of uses would break ?
