What OS you are running your COBOL programs.
What is the vendor name, and what is the vendor compiler version, and
vendor runtime version used? (if applicable)

and what is EZT, and do they supply a list of the interface functions
and parameter types?

My guess is that "EZT" is "Easytreive" - (IBM mainframe product) - but that 
is
only a guess (and I don't know the answer)

An EasyTrieve macro is basically the same thing as a CoBOL copy
member.

I believe, but will not guarantee, that the normal operation of
Easytrieve [CA product that runs on IBM Mainframe] is with EZT as the
main program and EZT does the CALLing to COBOL.  In this context, yes,
it is possible to interface EZT and COBOL.
