in additon to the above answers, VSCOBOLII allows to make
CALL stmt, so you can do this in ur earlier versions

if you routine is imbedded to ur main program, then that
case CALL is more effective.

if the modification are higher ,sub program size is higher
go for LINK, once issue link that u the control to one
level down to ur calling program. and ur calling pgm will
expect a return,

Xctl is more convienent way calling a progam in CIcs,.
