B) Not necessarily. Working storage of a COBOL program complied with
DATA(31) may define data residing below 16M if ALL31 is set to OFF
[IBM-supplied default]. This is achieved using the EXTERNAL attribute as in
the following code snippet
01 BELOW EXTERNAL.
05 DELAY-AMT PIC S9(9) COMP.

Subject: Fw: Fw: COBOL callable services?
Just remember that when calling ILBOWAT0, you
A) want to do a dynamic CALL
B) need to use DATA(24)
I know that some shops have actually created their own "interface" module
(to be called by DATA(31) programs) to copy the time below the line and then
to call ILBOWAT0.
P.S. ILBOABN0 *has* been changed to accept data above the line - as I
recall. Certainly ILBOSTP0 can be called from above the line.
