You can't specify XPLINK(ON) in this fashion for a COBOL main program. You have to use one of the other supported techniques. If you want to run a COBOL program with POSIX(ON) and XPLINK(ON), you should probably be using something like BPXBATCH that will start your COBOL main program in a Posix enclave with environment variables. The Enterprise COBOL for z/OS Programming Guide discusses invoking Java from a COBOL main at URL <http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pdthelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.entcobol4.doc/tpooo12.htm> Their examples put XPLINK(ON) in the _CEE_RUNOPTS environment variable.
