I managed to get COBOL run units understood well enough to make interaction 
between RPG, COBOL and CL work okay. I wasn't so much taking shots at it as I 
was displaying unfamiliarity. For example, I never got clear on the concept of 
"concurrent run units", nor did I ever get clear on how the same program could 
be both a MAIN program and a subprogram in the same job. Of course, I never 
needed to know that much.

However, I did recognize enough to see how your reference to them might 
translate over to request levels. And however it is that COBOL does its magic 
handling run units, it did seem that request levels would be easier and Leif 
would be bound to figure them out.
