Invoke AMODE31-only Code from AMODE64

All, is it possible to invoke AMODE31-only code from an AMODE64 module? To be more detailed: I’m running in USS (with XPLINK) and I need to call several System services that are known to not support AMODE64, in my case SWAREQ and OUTADD. I know that I could write a AMODE31 load module, put it
