64-bit Windows Support

CA Gen supports compiling and executing generated C Blockmode and server applications as 64-bit images on Windows using Visual Studio. Users must regenerate their code to access 64-bit data types used in the Windows X 64 API to create 64-bit images.

The %GENxx%Gen\VSabc\amd64 folder contains a collection of files that support 64-bit Windows applications. A set of user exit rebuild procedures is also available in the %GENxx%Gen\VSabc\amd64 folder and must be used to rebuild any necessary 64-bit designated user exits.

If you choose to use the 64-bit runtimes provided with CA Gen to execute your application, you must modify PATH to append %GENxx%Gen\VSabc\amd64 before %GENxx%Gen\VSabc.

Note: Prepending %GENxx%Gen\VSabc\amd64 to PATH must only be done in the current command window session, and must not be set in the System Environment variables.

Note: xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. For the current release number, see the Release Notes. abc refers to the supported version of Visual Studio. For more information on the supported version of Visual Studio, see the Release Notes.
