Yes, you can call a sub program dynamically.

For example,

ACCEPT A.
CALL A.

The value of A is known only at run time.

To call a program dynamically you must specify the 'DYNAM' Complier option.

Hi meetsrk,

DYNAM is the compiler option with which you have to compile the calling program.

Hi meetsrk,

The paragraphs below show all possible ways to invoke STATIC/DYNAMIC CALLs:

If compiled as NODYNAM:
CALL 'literal' is a static call
CALL WS-label is a dynamic call

If compiled as DYNAM:
CALL 'literal' is a dynamic call
CALL WS-label is a dynamic call
