Answer / mahesh n
Start and XCTL are completely different in execution.
in START, we are executing a program associated with the
transaction we give in START TRAN-id, no data is given here,
where as in XCTL data is transferred from the program which
we call the XCTL function to the program to which the
control is passed.

Answer / mani
Start and XCTL are completely different in execution.
Using XCTL we transfer the control from the calling program
to the called program and the control is expected to be
returned after the execution of the called program.Here we
can not change the terminal at which the transaction has to
execute and it is the same instance of the calling program.
whereas in the case of start we can specify where the
transaction has to execute i.e the terminal id and we can
also specify number of other parameters like when it has to
execute (by specifying date and time parameters).
