After going thru manuals I believe coding a STOP RUN instead
of GO BACK will give the control directly to the OS.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Answer / balaji

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong..

I think u can give any call Static/Dynamic because these
CALL just tells how the calling program to be
invoked...during compile time or at the runtime...but if u
give Stop run in your called program it will automatically
give the control back to the OS and not to the calling
program unlike GOBACK which returns the control back to
calling pgm..

Hi Menaka,

Thanks for your answer. I believe you're answer is correct
after referring M.K. Roy book.

But I have a doubt,in the book it has been listed under
'COBOL for Personal Computers' so whether it applies to
Mainframe Cobol(VS Cobol II/Enterprise COBOL) usage. I
referred some IBM manuals and not able to find it.

Please let me know if you have you used it.

Appreciate your inputs.

I have a program with an Array of 5000 occurences which is being passed from 5 sub levels to the front end screen. Thess 5 programs using each 5*2 = 10 different arrays with size as 5000. This is causing the transaction to utilize more storage consupmtion. I am looking to reduce the storage consumption. As part of that initially i thought Dynamic array may solve my problem. After viewing the comments given i see its same as normal array. IS there any other way we can resolve this issue?
