Static / Dynamic Linking in IBM COBOL - Enterprise IT Consultant Views on Technologies and Trends

Hi Mukherjee, This is really explained well. Its very clear to differentiate static call and dynamic call. Please tell in detail how to use or specify NODYNAM COMPILER OPTION.

COBOL dynamic call and static call

CBL is the compiler directive which can be used to override the compier options through cobol program. Let me know if this clarifies.

IBM MAINFRAME: Compile JCLs for Static and Dynamic Call Cobol Programs

IF program A is calling Program B Using Dynamic call and Program B is Calling Program C Using Static call and Program C is calling Program D using Dynamic call. Only program D need to compile again , no need to compile all other program because its takes the changed value of program D at run time.

Yes, you are right Paro. Please correct me if I am wrong.

We all know that we can get the dates in cob Wednesday, April 9, This is a much discussed topic among the COBOL programmers. We can identify the calls by seeing the 'CALL' structure.

Lets see what is the difference between static and dynamic call and other information. Static call implies that the objects modules of called and calling are bound together before they use each other. Dynamic call implies the calling program does not know about the called program until the call takes place.
