And, yes, what they said. IBM requires PDS/E due to Program Objects being created by Cobol V5.
This is a Cop-Out answer/reason in my opinion. The real question is "What is Cobol V5 creating that needs the Program Object format?". IOW: It outputs something that needs a Program Object when bound. What is this capability that can not be done in a normal load module?
