Hi,
Please help me with the below query on Cobol Call, correct me if I am wrong.
PGM-A Calls PGM-B multiple times within PGM-A.
When PGM-B is called multiple times, the variables used by PGM-B will be initialized by the System ? If it is not reinitialized how to get that re-initialized whenever the PGM-B is called.
Please advice
Thanks |

| What research have you done in the COBOL manuals so far? |

I am still trying to promote the use of LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION,
although I have yet to use it myself...
From the cobol book:
| Quote: |
The local-storage section defines storage that is allocated and freed on a per-invocation basis. On each invocation, data items defined in the local-storage section are reallocated. Each data item that has a VALUE clause is initialized to the value specified in that clause.
