Nested programs in COBOL

Hi All,

I want to know if there is any concept of nested programs in COBOL. i mean is it possible that program P1 contains P2, P2 contains P3, P3 contains P4 and so on.

I am not talking about calling a subprogram but about a program containing some other program.

Thanks
Sumat
