I have a COBOL 400 program that uses a call to QCMDEXC to change a *DTAARA (Data area).

Is there a less overhead utilizing manner in which to change a *DTAARA from within a COBOL program than using the QCMDEXC?

Maybe some similar way to the way RPG400 does it by using the IN opcode then the OUT opcode?

Thanks!
