Yep, been there, done that too. Now that you mention it, maybe the OP should think about doing that as well after the disassembled source is available.
I used to work for a software vendor and we distributed a VSE version of our product and we had macros like that as well as some in-house routines that answered to the call of some VSE EXTRNs.

Then I assembled DOS pgms on OS/360 (MFT if it matters) and took the object decks and "linked" them on DOS it worked like a charm. The MFT assembler output worked fine on DOS system. Mind you there were no complicated programs with overlays & etc .... but it did work.
