Dale Smith's append had some very good info. (snips) COBOL programs today are always AMODE 31. and COBOL programs can call AMODE 24 programs and IGZ0033S An attempt was made to pass a parameter address above 16 megabytes to AMODE(24) program program-name. (end-snips)
Leads me to think that we might be talking about a call-by-module-name to a program via some system-assisted linkage (as opposed to via external reference within the load module / program object). And it leads me to think that COBOL must be doing something like a BLDL to find out what the AMODE is, prior to generating (for example) LINK to give control to the program.
