He can still use a constant DD in COBOL and do dynalloc using bpxwdyn,

You can pass the File-Name itself on a call to a subprogram, and this will
expose the FCB to the subprogram, however I would guess this is protected

Lots of replies - with varying degrees of accuracy and current COBOL support

Sure, but you can have DYNALLOC do either of two things:
(1) You specify your own DD name, or
(2) Allow DYNALLOC to generate the DD name for you
Because COBOL likes static DD names, you can specify the dataset name, and
ask it to relate it to a DD name that you then specify in your FD.

Per question #2, look up DYNALLOC. I don't know if there are any COBOL calls
for it, but you can write a routine in C/C++, PLI, ASM or just about any
other language to make an SVC 99 call.
