And is it not the case that the 64-bit z/Series architecture is
basically an extension of the 31-bit (addressing) ESA/390 architecture?

(not referring to CICS, just MVS, OS/390, and z/OS)
Sort of, if you discount the 24-bit vs. 31-bit addressing of the hardware,
or the 64-bit non-360 architecture of the hardware running z/OS... Just feeling ornery this evening...
Apparently! ;)
