Works without problems.

The only way that you could run into problems would be, if the LE initialization
would step up the save area chain and check somehow, if the caller of the main
module (at entry CEESTART) is indeed the operating system. But this is not done.
At our site, we have some sort of test driver which builds a sort of test driver
environment (@M.: using TRAP2, you know) and then calls main programs
written in ASSEMBLER, C or PL/1 to test them. No problem at all.

Kind regards
