I've been having trouble find much in the way of doc or examples of programming
in 64 bit space... it seems that for the system services, if the VMS help library entry
for the corresponding service does not include text like

       On Alpha and Integrity server systems, this service accepts 64-
       bit addresses.

then it likely requires all parameters be passed from 32 bit space. I notice the $getqui
does not include the above text. I imagine that you'll have to move the item list down
into 32 bit space.
