Passing data between C and COBOL without #pragma

Note: The reference to COBOL, in the sections explaining the use of COBOL without #pragma, applies only to Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, COBOL for OS/390 & VM, and COBOL for MVS & VM.

When data is passed between C and COBOL without #pragma linkage (COBOL), the standard language linkages are used with no extra level of indirection introduced.
