05 WS-EM-AMOUNT PIC X(21).
05 WS-EM-ACHFN PIC X(20).
05 WS-EM-CTLFN PIC X(20).
and has the below stmt..
CALL EMAIL00 USING WS-EMAIL00-PASSAREA.

In the linkage section of the called program, I have
01 WS-EMAIL00-PASSAREA.
05 WS-EM-CLNTNM PIC X(20).
05 WS-EM-AMOUNT PIC X(21).
05 WS-EM-ACHFN PIC X(20).
05 WS-EM-CTLFN PIC X(20).

PROCEDURE DIVISION USING WS-EMAIL00-PASSAREA.
0000-MAIN-LINE.
EXEC CICS ASSIGN
USERID(USERID)
APPLID(APPLID)
END-EXEC.
MOVE WS-EM-CLNTNM TO OUTPRT8-CLNTNM

The manual indicates you've got problems with the way your code is put together:
Static COBOL CALL
The CALL statement may pass DFHEIBLK and DFHCOMMAREA as the first two parameters, if the called program is to issue EXEC CICS requests, or the called program can issue EXEC CICS ADDRESS commands. The COMMAREA is optional but if other parameters are passed, a dummy COMMAREA must also be passed. The rules for nested programs can be different. See Nesting: what the application programmer must do
Dynamic COBOL CALL
The CALL statement may pass DFHEIBLK and DFHCOMMAREA as the first two parameters, if the called program is to issue EXEC CICS requests, or the called program can issue EXEC CICS ADDRESS commands. The COMMAREA is optional but if other parameters are passed, a dummy COMMAREA must also be passed. If the called subprogram uses 24-bit addressing and any parameter is above the 16MB line, COBOL issues a message and abends(1033) .
You either need to pass DFHEIBLK and DFHCOMMAREA to your subprogram, or you need to use EXEC CICS ADDRESS -- your call.

Thanks Robert. It is now resolved after passing DFHEIBLK & DFHCOMMAREA.
