Actually, I don't believe program objects are required to reside in PDSEs, or
does
COBOL impose this as an additional requirement?
Program objects may reside in z/OS UNIX files.
(Of course there's a drawback: program objects not in PDSes are not readily
accessible to LOAD/LINK/ATTACH/XCTL facilities.)

However, COBOL calling programs could use the BPX1LOD service to LOAD
an executable stored as a z/OS UNIX file (COBOL can't ATTACH or XCTL
anyway). Then COBOL 'CALL data-item' can invoke the loaded module.
How to do this is covered in our three day course "Developing
Applications for z/OS UNIX". See
http://www.trainersfriend.com/UNIX_and_Web_courses/u520descr.htm
for details on the course.
