How can i tell if a module is being called dynam or static

How can i tell if a module is being called dynamically or statically call please give example

[Krishna]

If program name is harcoded in CALL statement like CALL 'PROG1'. This is a static call. If program name passed from outside of the program and moved into a variable and used in the CALL statement, that is called dynamic statement.

Dynamic Call -

Move 'PROG1' TO WS-PROGRAM-NAME

CALL WS-PROGRAM-NAME



Other info -
In static linking, the called subroutine is link-edited into the calling program , while in dynamic linking, the subroutine & the main program will exist as separate load modules. You choose static/dynamic linking by choosing either the DYNAM or NODYNAM link edit option. (Even if you choose NODYNAM, a CALL identifier (as opposed to a CALL literal), will translate to a DYNAMIC call).
