Answer / chakri
Deepak if u want to make control go to program B from
Program A we can do it by using a CALL statement and same
way we can make control go to Program C from Program B . In
Program C we have to code GOBACK instead of STOP RUN so
taht control will return to Program B after the completion
of Program B and similarly we have to code GOBACK in
Program B so that control wil return to Program A but in
Program A we have to code STOP RUN as last statement.
I think its clear for u

Answer / rockish
XCTL may not work.. XCTL is used to transfer the control and
the control will not be returned back..

if it is a fully cobol program we can use the following
statement to pass the control to another program, which
will return the control to the next line of calling program.
A -> B -> C
In program A: call 'B'.
In program B: call 'C'.
EXIT PROGRAM.(instead of STOP RUN)
In program C: EXIT PROGRAM.(instead of STOP RUN).
if it is CICS program, we have to user LINK for getting the
control back to the calling program.
