Please share the details of "the issues", whether they were coding
error(s) or were thing(s) that you figured out.
Both could be helpful to others, to avoid whatever pitfalls you ran into.

Quickly, there was confusion with a label being used in the COBOL
code. The COBOL area and the ALC DSECT matched, but the wrong
label was used so the wrong value was in the "right place" and
the TEXT unit logic was using the wrong info.
It was Scott (of IBM) over in IBM-main who pointed out something
about what SVC99 was doing.... and it suddenly occurred to me
that I may have finger-checked in the COBOL driver.
This little incident uncovered another problem: The original TIOT
validation routine, based on how things were done with MVS/SP1
(looks up the DDName to see if it is already allocated) was
failing. It was telling us that a DDNAME was not in the table
when we know it had to be, because it was defined in the JCL.
