If you are only supplying load modules/program objects, it could work but if there are any source COBOL members I doubt SMP/E would work unless SMP/E has expanded to handle languages other than COBOL. Would there be LE and other interactions with dependencies. As a side note, it would be interesting to see how many of the Assembler sub-routinesw could be re-written in COBOL and still be efficient COBOL also has the capability of inlining called subroutines in the same source. I can expand on this if people are interested.
