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.

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.

Thanks for answering.
But the question is in COBOL CALL.
Since, I posted under COBOL question list, I didn't
mentioned it explicitly in the question.
I was really curious to answer to this.

What are the differences between COBOL and COBOL II?
In a program, there are 2 sections defined say SECTION-A and SECTION-B. There is a paragraph say CALC-INT in both the sections. If this para has to be called directly for SECTION-A, then PERFORM CALC-INT will not work as it is present in both sections. How the PERFORM statement has to be coded here?
