And why would you expect an application programmer writing in COBOL to
even
know that manual exists? Why should he/she even know it's possible for
the programs to be invoked by anything other than EXEC PGM=... )where a
100-byte parm limit has existed forever)?
You seem to be thinking in system programming mode, but that's not
where
the problems will surface.

What applications programmer wouldn't know that it is possible?
There are still a people who will code monolithic, Cobol-74 style
programs rather than use a call statement. But it is quite common to
see things broken into modules -- especially if you let those PFCSK
near the application.
