COBOL/VSE

Static and dynamic calls between COBOL/VSE and VS COBOL II programs are supported as follows:

Called programs can contain any command or facility supported by CICS® for COBOL.
If the called program has been translated by the CICS translator, calling programs must pass the EIB and COMMAREA as the first two parameters on the CALL statement.

COBOL/VSE programs can invoke or be invoked by DOS/VS COBOL programs only through CICS facilities such as EXEC CICS LINK, EXEC CICS XCTL, and EXEC CICS RETURN.
