    There is another section in Data division; named as LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION.

    For a recursive cobol program, you need to use that section to hold the current values of each variable while the program run.

    What is Load module & Link edit and How will it work Dynamic call?
    • gilbat82

    Normally we are using Dynamic call. What will happen when COBOL program compilation & execution.

    Load Module: The object code converted into Load Module (Machine readable form) by using Link edit that's common in COBOL.    But in Dynamic call, first we have to submit the sub progs later we can use that in Link  section in COBCOMP. That's the procedure.
