| You have a main program that calls a sub program. There is a parm structure say containing 10 items that gets passed on from main program to sub program. If the main program parm has 10 items, but the sub program Linkage structure has only 9 items (Mismatch in the linkage structure) , then what happens? |

If by 10 items you mean call sub using item1 ... item10, then the 10th item does not get touched by the sub.
If by 10 items you mean call sub using area-with-10-fields, then the 10th field does not get touched by the sub. |

Can you please explain this scenario.
Call pgm using var-1,var-2,var-2.
Suppose the called program linkage section has 3 different variables. |

a typo?

To quote IBM - "the result may be unpredictable".
It might run or it might abend. If it did run, it may or may not have done what you wanted. |
