Comments:

If you set the P64 directive, your program is compiled to run under a 64-bit development environment, and to manipulate 64-bit pointers.

If you set the P64 directive, your program is compiled to use 64-bit pointers and has access to a 64-bit address space if you are executing on a 64-bit machine with an appropriate setting of the ILTARGET directive.
