If GOBACK is coded instead of STOPRUN in a cobol program
which is not called by any other program nothing wrong will
happen. The program will give desired results.


Generally 3 things are coded to halt the execution of a
program they are

STOP RUN
GOBACK
EXIT PROGRAM

STOP RUN is frequently used and mainly coded in main
programs(calling program). The control will be returned to OS.

GOBACK is coded in the mainly in the subroutines or called
programs. The control will be returned to the calling
program. If STOP RUN is coded in the calling program the
program will go to an infinite execution. GOBACK can be
coded in the programs which is not called by any programs
instead of STOP RUN.

EXIT PROGRAM is seldom used.
