poorly phrased question.

there is a 'mainframe manual' button at the top of the page.

find to cobol manual that relates to the version of cobol that you are using.

number of potential parameters in USING list,
max allowable size of structure,
what can be and what can not be a part of the linkage section

all these questions can be answered by looking in the manual.

not what you meant.

Hi and welcome to the Forums,

Your question leaves a lot more to know about ? in what perspective you are looking for the limitations?
