First, you should be using the supported runtimes for COBOL2, and they are in LE. Otherwise, results can be unpredictable. I believe the name is hlq.SCEELKED.
Second, compiler options for the older compliers can influence the binder behavior. I believe the ROT is RES DYNAM. Third, what do you mean 'couldn't be found?' AFAIK, a properly linked COBOL2 program will have only a few 'stub' CSECTS in the final program. Fourth, when an INCLUDED module contains other CSECTs, the Binder will not replace them unless explicitly directed to do so. Old COBOL runtimes as well as out of date subroutines can sneak into production via this vector and cause some real headscratcher problems.

One works and the other is in error I suspect that this is a binder parm that cause the error. Situation one, that works: Output from the compiler (Object) is in the syslin. Two libraries are in the syslib concatenation: SYS1.COB2LIB and MY.LOADLIB. The Binder ends successfully, referring only to MY.LOADLIB and the SYSLIN in the dataset report. Situation two, that in error: Output from compiler is in an object library. SYSLIB is the same. A SYSLIN "INCLUDE OBJ(MYPGM)' loads the object code, but all the Cobol2 modules needed to be linked together with the object code couldn't be found although they are in the SYSLIB. Any idea why Situation two doesn't work? As I said, it looks like a binder parameter that controls that, but I can't find which one.
