When using COBOL and C object code together, Micro Focus recommends you build and keep the COBOL and C executables separate,
and use import libraries and the Micro Focus C functions for calling COBOL (see "C functions for calling COBOL" in the product
help) to resolve calls between them.
Calling
You cannot call COBOL programs containing COMP-1 or COMP-2 parameters specified BY VALUE. Conversely, you cannot call a C
program using a COBOL program containing COMP-1 or COMP-2 parameters specified BY VALUE.
