IIRC In my mainframe days there was a big difference between ending with GOBACK and EXIT PROGRAM. Not sure if this is the same on the 400, or if it has the same effect as not setting on LR.

Subject: [COBOL400-L] COBOL for RPG programmers: How do you shut down a program?
Fair warning ... I haven't seriously looked at COBOL since I was in college ... some 30+ years ago.
I've got a customer problem where a COBOL program is remaining active even after it's been exited. Even though the program has been replaced (and the original program moved to a different library), when they re-run the program, the moved program object goes active.
In RPG we would shut down a program by setting on LR and exiting the program.
If we want to keep the program active, we would NOT set LR on and exit.
How would you exit a program normally in COBOL ... and how would you exit the program but leave the program active?
Thanks!
