​I think so too. My opinion is that LE is the outgrowth of IBM's desire for
all the HLLs to have an "integrated" run-time which is distributed with the
z/OS system itself, instead of individual run-times like in the MVS era. I
rather like being able to use some of the C language routines even in
COBOL. I have a great delight in the "snprintf()"​ routine for "human
readable" messages.
