We did this and had no additional problems to the problems that arose when a
called program accesses the same file as the calling program. There is the
risk of locking the record in your own job, when two programs try to read a
record for update, with a lock. But that isn't new and is avoided by using
the (N) - no lock -extension on the read operations when it's not necessary
to lock the record read.
