Diff between SEARCH and SEARCHALL, Static & Dynamic Call

Hi All ... Great reference on Static And Dynamic Call .. Could you please tell me if we can Identify if a program is Statically or Dynamically Called just by having a look at the Cobol program(syntax ?

Hi,

Call by Literal
ie: CALL 'SUBPGM' is said to be Static Call

Call by Variable
ie: CALL WS-PGM is said to be Dynamic Call.
(WS-PGM)is the variable,you are accepting value at the runtime.

Search : This is the linear search,can be in any order.

SearchAll : This is like Binary search,should be in sorted order.

Just to add,

If the code has been compiled as NODYNAM:
CALL 'SUBPGM' is a Static Call
CALL WS-PGM is a dynamic call

But if the code has been compiled as DYNAM:
Both of the CALLs are DYNAMIC call.

Regards,
