Assuming you aren't porting the COBOL created object code to a z/OS.e
system, (and you are going to a system licensed with LE - which is part of
z/OS), then there are no restrictions.

If you are going to a z/OS.e system, then there are some (easy to get
around) restrictions, i.e. you need to use a "CEEPIPI" driver as the "main"
program.

P.S.  If you have any 3rd party products (e.g. the old CA-Optimizer) you
MIGHT need their required "run-time" on the target system, but the
COBOL-only object code may be ported to any system with z/OS.
