Nested COBOL program considerations

If you are compiling a COBOL application program that contains nested programs, the rules regarding the use of DFHEIBLK and DFHCOMMAREA, described in the CICS® Application Programming Guide, apply only when you are using the CICS stand-alone translator.

When you use the integrated translator to compile nested programs, observe the following rules:

If you are unable to apply these rules for existing programs that you are modifying (including using COPY members to redefine DFHCOMMAREA in nested programs), continue using the stand-alone translator.
