COBOL programs have been handling DATA(31) since COBOL for MVS and VM and in the LE versions. DATA(24) is unusual. Limits have gradually been relaxed and so for Enterpris 5.1 a single data item can be 1 billion bytes minus 1 or 999,999,999 bytes so unless the program has been compiled AMODE(24) there wouldn't be a problem. I just checked using Google to the appropriate IBM page.
