Robert,

as Charles said, there's "something strange" in the attempt. :D

Anyway IBM gives the following statement about Cobol v6.3 compatibility:

"
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.3 requires z/OS V2.2 (5650-ZOS), or later.
"

This could (or could not ;D) mean that parmlist of external call to LE
routines used by Cobol v6.3 should be compatible between v2.2, v2.3 and
v2.4 unless compiler does generate different parmlists depending on the LE
runtime detected at compilation time (I personally doubt about this).

I don't know how "massive" is your attempt or need, anyway good luck.
Max
