Understood. In this case, it's a one-time call so I'm not concerned about
how it ends. If it doesn't end the way I want it to, I can always throw it
into its own activation group to preventing it from ending too much. We do
use COBOL stubs for other stuff, but I'm not an expert on the run unit
stuff. Fortunately, my officemate is. Again, it looks like a CL wrapper is
just what I need. Thanks to all!

 >> If you are going to call this COBOL program a bunch of times during the
running of the RPG program you will want to use a COBOL wrapper program as
the initial calling program.

Brian's concern is valid, but the COBOL compiler now provides an alternative
to the "wrapper" method.  You can now:

Exit Program and Continue Run Unit.

Which will keep the run unit intact and avoid the overhead he mentioned.
