AMODE24 is valid on any XA or ESA system. It initializes the target program as AMODE24, regardless of the CMS, z/OS, or z/VSE defaults.

AMODE31 is also valid on any XA or ESA system. It initializes the target program as AMODE31, regardless of the CMS, z/OS, or z/VSE defaults.

AMODE64 is only valid on a z/OS system running on a z/Architecture® machine. It initializes the target program as AMODE64, regardless of the z/OS default.

Note: On CMS, if the target program is not a nucleus extension, and is AMODE(ANY), this option is needed to enable IDF to recognize the program as AMODE31.
