Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, Version 4.2, Programming Guide
Static calls to alternate entry points work without restriction.
Dynamic calls to alternate entry points require the following elements:
- Either explicitly specified NAME or ALIAS linkage-editor or binder control statements, or use of the NAME compiler option which generates them automatically.
- An intervening CANCEL for any dynamic call to the same module at a different entry point.
CANCEL causes the program to be invoked in initial state when it is called at a new entry point.
You can specify another entry point at which a program will begin running by using the ENTRY label in the called program.
However, this method is not recommended in a structured program.
