Sorry for all the noise today. I figured out was wrong.I was assuming that I could use a function "out in the open" to manipulate data. However the manual says on page 6-11, that an intrinsic function can be used anywhere in the procedure division that a literal is allowed.
So in a MOVE statement or DISPLAY but we can't just have a statement "foo" and in turn we can't just have function SUBSTITUTE.
