Does COBOL 5 make use of below the line storage outside of the CICS DSA i.e. OSCOR?

I am migrating to COBOL 5 and would like to know if COBOL still uses OSCOR for some verbs

COBOL Version 5 is the same as earlier versions, it only uses below the line storage if you tell it too, via the LE run-time options HEAP and STACK.

Thanks Tom, I have suggested to the customer that they consider using developerWorks for Q&A. Any likelihood of an update to your excellent performance series for COBOL 5?
