What will happen if we give GOBACK statement instead of STOPRUN in a program which does not call any other program?

Stop run: Terminates the execution of the program and return back to the OS
GOBACK: Terminates the execution of the program and return back to the previous higher level.
If you give goback instead of stoprun in a standalone program nothing will happen. goback is going to return back to the OS since that is the higher level for the program.

The program will go in an infinite loop even if you code in Called or calling program. Goback gives the control from the begining of the program

It will return to calling program. In a threaded environment, if the program is the first program in a thread, the thread is terminated.

It will abend with the below message " The flow of control in program TRIAL proceeded beyond the last line of the program."
