Just wanted to add a bit to Peter's advice -
The LE option ALL31(OFF) instructs [or at least used to] LE to perform AMODE
switching on every dynamic call, AND also to allocate the COBOL EXTERNAL data
in storage BELOW the line.
So, if you define something like this
001100 01 BELOW EXTERNAL.
001200 05 AMODE24-PARM-1 PIC X(08).
001200 05 AMODE24-PARM-2 PIC X(44).
...
the called AMODE24 program should have no problems accessing these PARMs.
HTH,
