As you have learned from others, the issue is you can't change the
intrinsic file midstream (or mid-compilation unit).

You can localize your code and use file equates to possibly get around
this issue. However, the cobol compiler uses sysintr for routines it
needs
even when you don't explicitly reference any other intrinsics.

So, if you cannot get past this even with file equates then what you
need
is sysintr with the aifchangelogon intrinsic entry added to it (if you
want
to continually use cobol).

For clues on how this can be possibly achieved I point you to this
manual
and suggest you read chapter 10 on Intrinsics. An interesting read.

BTW, there are many people who have mpe pascal compilers, even event3k
:-)
