As I read Kenneth Wilkerson's post he is arranging things so that an RMODE(64) routine that needs system services unavailable to it as such arranges to have a different, associated RMODE(31) routine request them and make their results available to it.
This scheme [or the alternative one in which an RMODE(31) routine hands off functions to, or accesses data in, an RMODE(64) one] is entirely viable and much used in IBM code. In my own programming I now often use AMODE(64) code in RMODE(31) routines to facilitate just such exchanges.
