Hi Denis,
You cannot directly invoke an SRB from PL/I or COBOL so you would need
to call a routine installed into the system previously that would be an
authorized service provider to schedule an SRB for your problem state
PL/I or COBOL program. Why do you want to invoke an SRB? PL/I and
COBOL
The service calls to schedule an SRB rae only available from an assembler
routine. In addition, in order to schedule and SRB the caller must be
authorized, ie. APF authorized, running in a system key or supervisor state,
all attributes rarely assigned to COBOL or PL/I programs.
