True. You cannot. It must be in a PDS/E. Called a Program Object now,
not a load module.

One comment, check the IBMMAIN Archives for discussions on COBOL V5.
There are many changes to the way this compiler runs. For one thing,
the output files need to be PDS/E datasets for the compiler and Load
libs.
You cannot, as far as I know, copy a compiled COBOL V5 module to a PDS
to run. It needs to be a PDS/E.

I would think so long as they point to unique libraries - yes.
Just make sure you have the compatibility maintenance on for LE and
COBOL.
Read the Migration manual for helpful hints.
