Re: COBOL ILE

[Jim Essinger <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!

There are now two different CALL statements.  You either 'CALL PROGRAM' or 
'CALL PROCEDURE' .  The default is 'CALL PROGRAM' but you can change that 
in the environment LINKAGE-TYPE command.   The compiler needs to be able to 
link the programs correctly, and telling the compiler if it is a MODULE 
(PROCEDURE) or an executable program (PROGRAM) makes thing work 
correctly.  You are on the right path keep going!
