No.

All COBOL stuff at IBM has to go through something called the "COBOL
Standards Committee", and they don't like platform specific instructions.

As you well know, COBOL is a truly portable language.  *NOT!!

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!
Tim Truax  :-)
