which is better either static call or dynamic call?
and why?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Static call:
============
Main program load module will have sub program load module in itself. So when there is a call made to a sub program, it won't go outside of the current load.
Dynamic call:
=============
Main & Sub program will have two different modules. When there is call to a sub program, system will go and search for the load module in the joblib.
Both have advantages.
1. If the sub program is going to be changed oftentimes, then Dynamic call is better.
2. Think that, for one call, system should to the load library and search for sub program module. when it is found, load that into main memory & pass the control to that and run. when that is finished, remove it from main memory. If the sub program is getting called 1 lack times then?........... In this case, Better to use static.
I believe, you understand. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

dynamic call is far better than static because the final
result is storeded in two records ie main program and sub
program. so when ever we need we can call the sub program
for other main program also.

Answer / mahi
dynamic call is much better than static
static call;
main program object code and sub program object code loaded
in one loadlibrary
if any change in code both has to be compiled
dynamic call;
main program object code and sub program object code loaded
in different loadlibraries
if any change in code both need not to be compiled

Answer / siri
STATIC CALL:-THE SUB PROGRAM CODE WILL BE SMALL AT THE TIME WE PREFERED STATIC CALL...STATIC CALL IS FAST COMPARING TO THE DYNAMIC CALL...OBJECT CODES ARE LINKED BEFORE THE EXECUTION....
DYNAMIC CALL:- SUB PROGRAM IS CALLED FREQUENTLY WE USED TO DYNAMIC CALL...OBJECT CODES ARE LINKED DURING THE EXECUTION...
SO THE PROCESS WILL BE SLOW COMPARING THE STATIC CALL..ITS NO NEED TO RECOMPILE WHEN THE SUBPROGRAM NEED TO BE MODIFIED...THIS IS BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OF THE DYNAMIC CALL....SO
FIRST WE PREFERED TO THE DYNAMIC CALL.....S
