Don't want to work on a Friday afternoon, so a question for you all...
I come from the VSE world where COBOL still does not have a LOCAL-STORAGE
SECTION, so our code doesn't use that "new" feature (new within the last 20
years, I guess!). I know generally for a subroutine when you would want to use
WORKING-STORAGE (heap/static) vs. LOCAL-STORAGE (automatic/stack). I am
curious is there any reason you'd ever want to use LOCAL-STORAGE in a MAIN
program.
It looks like for PL/I the default is AUTOMATIC. I don't know if this
"implies" anything with regard to COBOL storage types.
Thanks,
Frank
