Enable LE support depending on your application type: 
    
 
 
     JCL
 
       
      LE support is enabled by default unless the name of the program you are running begins with 'MF'. In which case, set the 
        INITCALL"mfleinit" Compiler directive. 
      
 
     
 
     CICS
 
       
      For CICS applications, set the environment variable 
        ES_LE370_SUPPORT=Y. 
      
 
     
 
    Any other method
 
       
      For any other method, for example, an IMS or standard COBOL program, set the 
        INITCALL"mfleinit" Compiler directive.
