I'll remind that while you "can" build a structure that mimics the EXEC PGM= structure and use LINK, you should not assume that using LINK will work. A program that is documented to work with EXEC PGM= may require that environment and may not work via LINK.
If you're authorized, it's up to you to make sure that it is OK. If you're not authorized, then at worst, if things don't work, you won't harm the system.
