| Since CALLING-POINT is not a COBOL reserved word, only the source code can answer that question. If this is in many of your production programs, a peer would be the best place to inquire. |

Hcl,
Do a search in your COBOL program for CALLING-POINT. If u can list us all the places where it is used may be we could get you the significance of this field.
ALso check the copybooks if this field is not declared in your program. |

usually this a trick, in complex programs, with lots of subroutines,
to setup some kind of eyecatcher to find out in case of an abend whre the program got stuck
really installation dependent... ask Your peers
maybe not even an installation standard, probably some leftover from testing |
