here is a link to the call / exec cics link / exec cics xctl goback / return / exec cics return
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cicsts/v3r2/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.cics.ts.applicationprogramming.doc/topics/dfhp3_cobol_subprog_rules.html
the link is badly built ( on IBM side ) I intended to point to the main paragraph above ....

Calling subprograms from COBOL programs <== and
.. Flow of control between programs and subprograms <==
.. Rules for calling subprograms |
strong advice ( not following it might make Your programs flunk any quality assurance tests
have a clear layout of the program calling structure / path
do not mix techniques
if a program is link'ed/xctl'ed with an EXEC CICS ...
it should return where it came from with an EXEC CICS RETURN
it will make life easier for people mantaining the application |
