Runtime support for assembler COBOL calls under CICS
The combinations of calls involving COBOL programs and assembler programs and whether the calls are supported when running under Language Environment® under CICS® are listed in the following table.
For the calls that are not supported, Table 1 also lists the symptom (message or
abend code) that will be returned in most cases. In some cases, depending
on the application environment, the symptom might not occur; you could
receive a different failure, or the application might appear to run
successfully.
The term IBM COBOL refers to COBOL/370, COBOL for MVS™ & VM, and COBOL for OS/390® & VM.
