>Program A is a standalone program that uses commitment control. Reads one
record, updates various other files. Program B is a standalone program that
also uses commitment control. Reads one record, updates some other files.
Now maintenance comes along and wants/needs programA to call programB while
in the middle of its commit cycle.

and hits a commit statement, does it end the commit cycle from programA? In
other words, do I have to change the code in programB to not execute a
commit statment if coming from programA.

Yes. If you want just one transaction boundary to surround all of the
updates, then B should not issue the commit until/unless A has completed all
of the updates and then calls B.
