If the program name is moved to a WSS variable and then a call
is moved using this variable then its a dynamic call else if
the Call is made directly using the sub program name then its
a static call

Answer / amit bhomle

Dynamic call is identified by a call variable whereas
static call is identified by the the call literal.In the
program it is idetified as follows:
1)Dynamic call:- If the PGM name is moved to the ws-
variable in cobol and PGM is called using this ws-
variable,then it is called Dynamic call.
Ex:- 01 WS-PGM PIC X(08)
MOVE 'PGM-NAME' TO WS-PGM
CALL WS-PGM
2)Static call:-If the PGM is called directly by using the
PGM name,then it is static call and it is default in COBOL.
Ex:- CALL 'PGM-NAME'

Answer / shikha

One can differnciate b/w a dynamic and static call by
looking at the load.
Incase of static call the load of the called module is also
included in the load of main program but in case of dynamic
call load of the called module would not be there in main
program load.

Answer / siddhesh

If you have CALL identifier, it is always a dynamic call.
If you have CALL literal, it may be a static call (NODYNAM)
or dynamic call (DYNAM).

Answer / khazi shaheen

incase of static call within the main program itself
calling program inlcuded
incase of dynamic call the calling program should be reside
in another member

I am getting S00F abend when i try to compare two variable of different pic class,one variable is of 9(09) and another is S9(09) comp-3. First i moved the data from S9(09) comp-3 to 9(09), but no luck. So i tried to move the data from S9(09) comp-3 to X (09) and move to 9(09). I am getting same error message, Please help me to find solution for this ptoblem. ERROR MESSAGE - "The system or user abend S00F R=NULL was issued."
