Several things have come together to give us a better recommendation
for customers who want to migrate to COBOL V5 but who also want to avoid
discovering 'differences' when they deploy into production.
First, some background. As usual, read the COBOL Migration Guide:

This was posted over on the IMS List and I thought it interesting to post here
as well.
We have major challenges with Cobol 5 due to the fact that IBM dropped the
NUMPROC(MIG) compile option with COBOL 5 and only allow NUMPROC(NOPFD) and
NUMPROC(PFD).

As others have said:
"Request Block" = RB (mapped by IHARB / IKJRB).
The 64 bytes before the beginning of the RB are the RB prefix (RBPRFX in
