As long as the program doesn't require a different environment, you should be fine unless you run out of storage.
If the program was written to assume that it is running from the first RB or under the jobstep TCB, then there may be issues. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I hope the following question does not offend the ears (eyes?) of assembler purists. Can an SVC call a 3GL program (e.g. COBOL) using the SYNCH macro? Or must the entire code be pure assembler? We have some fairly complex code already written as a COBOL subroutine and were hoping to recycle it within the context of the SVC.
