Alan, download the Cobol-Analyser from www.cbttape.org FILE#321.
Verify the output after a scan of you load modules. 1. Verfiy the curent compile option INTDATE(ANSI) or INTDATE(LILIAN) 2. Verify if the cobol makes a call to CEECBLDY or CEEDAYS. The Cobol- Analyzer will report such static calls. 3. "Intrinsic function was used" vs "No Intrinsic function was used" This might be indicator using function day-of-integer and the other three. Unfortunally you still have to scan the source because it could be another function.

Most are easily changed and don't really affect how jobs run. However I have two differences that concern me. LPARA (the sending lpar) has INTDATE=ANSI and LPARB (the receiving lpar) has INTDATE=LILIAN. Also LPARA has OPT as the default for TRUNC while LPARB uses STD. I've asked IBM about these but they just quote me sections of the COBOL manuals dealing with the options. They don't say anything about what might happen when I change one value to another. Has anyone ever made these changes? I'm more scared about INTDATE; TRUNC is more easily explained.
