NO The calling program is compiled with either DYN which means dynamic calls or NODYN which means static calls. It's one or the other.

after some research I am going to retract my previous comment in lieu of another. If you really need to do this in COBOL compile the program with the NODYN option. use the CALL Literal format for the static calls (5 of them) and the CALL IDENTIFIER format (which is always dynamic) for the other 3.

example of call literal

CALL 'PROGRAMX' USING.......

example of call identifier

MOVE 'PROGRAMX' to WS-NAME. (WS-NAME is a PIC X(8) field)

CALL WS-NAME using.......
