Have you checked the manual? It specifically states PROGRAM-ID is not optional. The error that results is
| Code: |
LineID Message code Message text
1 IGYDS1003-E A "PROGRAM-ID" paragraph was not found. Program-name
"CBLNAM01" was assumed. |
Why not try it yourself rather than asking somebody else? |

Be careful, because some in-house PROC's will insert "IAMAPGM" as the PROGRAM-ID when it is omitted. 
All kidding aside, this is a Sorry A$$ question to be asked during an interview.  |

Shoot, even COBOL uses a default name -- although it does generate an E-level error which will prevent the code from linking.
And you're right, Bill -- this is not a good interview question. I'm not sure what is supposed to be demonstrated if a candidate CAN answer the question, or if the candidate CANNOT answer the question (unless it is that the candidate has a grasp of obscure COBOL trivia). |
