Mismatch in Linkage Section

You have a main program that calls a sub program. There is a parm structure say containing 10 items that gets passed on from main program to sub program. If the main program parm has 10 items, but the sub program Linkage structure has only 9 items (Mismatch in the linkage structure) , then what happens?

If by 10 items you mean call sub using item1 ... item10, then the 10th item does not get touched by the sub.
If by 10 items you mean call sub using area-with-10-fields, then the 10th field does not get touched by the sub.

Can you please explain this scenario.
Call pgm using var-1,var-2,var-2.
Suppose the called program linkage section has 3 different variables.

If the calling program has 3 variables but called program linkage has 4 variables then you abend when you acess the 4 th variable in calledd program.
