Hi,

I have one question in PL/I. How can we defferentiate Static Call and Dynamic Call in PL/I?

How they are going to function? Pls provide detail explanation.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Static calls are resolved during the link-edit. Dynamical calls are resolved at run time.

How they are going to function?

Typically, identically. . . What detail are you looking for?

Hi Dick,

How can we identify a CALL is static or dynamic in PL/I?

Hello,

How to differentiate a CALl is static or dynamic by seeing code?

COBOL source that calls a "literal" value is static. COBOL source that calls a variable-name value is dynamic. There is also the dynam/nodynam compiler option.

Unfortunately, i don't "speak" pl/i. . .

Heres a link to the pl/i documentation for "Dynamic loading of an external procedure":

If there is a

Select all

present, the call to ABCDEF is dynamic in all other cases it's static.
