>Try and get that out of user procs its pretty close to impossible.  
Like I said 100's of procs (or more) *BEFORE* the change for the  
binder (and linkage editor) almost always included it.

LE is a different beast.
Enterprise/COBOL is a different beast.
If you used your old procs against it they would fail.
Period. End of statement.

>It may no longer be *NESC* but they procs are still out there. To  
deny they aren't will cause nasty grumblings and calls to the help  
desk and a ding or two against your next review. EVEN if published  
ahead of time It just "ain't"  worth the effort. 

It IS worth the effort.
It won't work the old way!
You have a choice:
Stay on the old (unsupported) COBOL.
Or:
Change.

The compiler can be read-protected.
LE is dynamically accessed.
SYS1.COBLIB is ignored, if included.

Saying this is not worth the effort is akin to saying that you will keep 
expanded storage around in 64-bit mode, even though it's not used.

IBM warned us that there would be changes when LE/370 was introduced in 1990, 
but we were the ones that asked for a common run-time across all languages.
