Apparently, the cob2 developer, or maybe the underlying COBOL compiler has "protected" itself from this support.

It might be that the COBOL compiler (IGYCRCTL) has open exits that detects SYSLIB mixed PDS/Unix contatenations (but unlikely I would guess). > The main problem that I have with my UNIX programs is that I can only > use HLASM (no C compiler license).
