How to call another para in the native sql procedure

All,

Currently Iam in conversion of COBOL to Native SQL stored procedure for ZIIP processor usage.

Iam facing the following issue in this.

In COBOL we have lots of para which are called when ever it is required. Equivalent of para's available in native SQL is labels.

but how to call the labels other than GOTO statement.

Below is the example of the the scenario

Create procedure PROCEDURE1(OUT B INT)
LANGUAGE SQL
READS SQL DATA
DISABLE DEBUG MODE
DYNAMIC RESULT SETS 1

P1: BEGIN

SET B = 1;
I need to call the procedure B to perform some actions . Goto is the one which I have found with redbooks. Is there any other way to the call the label.

END P1
P2: BEGIN
SET B = B*2;
END P2

Thanks in advance for your help

perhaps instead of imbedding 'paragraphs to be performed'
create additional SP's to be CALLed.

But there are lots of paragraphs in the cobol code . Which are been called multiple times.

If we create a stored procedure for each para, we will end up in multiple stored procedures. Which the DBA is not preferring.

Is there any other ways?

Hello,

It is quite common for a process to utilize multiple Stored Procedures. . .
