Since the 2002 COBOL standard now has USAGE BIT and logical operations, cite the appropriate SHARE Requirement and push IBM to implement that feature. I know that I submitted one that covered it in addition to a generic support the 2002 Standard requirement. If I had known about the requirement to access bits in CICS COBOL, I would have added that in the justification.
