Hi Suresh,
Subprogram usually will have a specific logic which can be used at many places i mean which can be called by many programs.
Means if u have the specific logic used at many places then it will be coded in Subprogram.
For ur second one
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
How much expensive is Dynamic calls?
If I have a choice to make it static or dynamic what should be my choice?
If storage is of main concern, then we can go for "Dynamic call" as module will be loaded to main memory only when it is called/needed.
If speed is of main concern, then we can go for "Static Call" as all modules will be link-edited together into the calling module during compilation process only.
The dynamic and static calling depends on Compiler options only.
U can check a program is calling other pgm dynamically/ statically by looking at the load module.
Suppose program XYZ is calling ABC , then the load module of XYZ in case of dynamic calling will not have any other load module.
If XYZ has a static call to ABC , in that case load module of XYZ will be having load module of ABC also attached to it. If XYZ is calling more then one programs static way , then u will find all those load modules attached in the load module of XYZ.
In case of static calling , first u will have to compile the called programs and then compile the main program. |
