If you mean other COBOL programs then you're out of luck without some messing about.

One way to do it is to change the program that calls this one so that it calls via a variable not a literal. Then when the program is to be switched out change the variable temporarily to another program, call it, then change the variable back and the pointer will be re-resolved.

Really this is no different from an RPG IV program in an AG. The problem you have lies not with how _this_ program exits but rather how you tell the _caller_ to re-resolve the pointer.

It is also important to know if it is the first COBOL program in a
series or one later in the chain.

It's an OPM program.

It looks like there are other programs on the call stack in front of the program that's causing the problem.
