and I disagree.  The problem here is one of incoherence.  All of the
COBOL programs that access the same data need to be compiled with the
same value of <option> in NUMPROC(<option>).  Moreover, it is now
clear that NUMPROC(NOPFD) is what is required globally.

More generally, the traditional COBOL-shop aversion to recompiling is
one that urgently needs to be discarded.   It was never sensible, and
it is no longer even tenable.
