Re: DYNAM vs NODYNAM
If you use the integrated CICS translator you can use the newish >>CALLINTERFACE DYNAMIC statement in order to be able to use CALL literal and have it be a dynamic call. All calls to DFHEI1 are still statically called when you do this. I'd like to see the NODYNAM requirement for CICS lifted.

Re: DYNAM vs NODYNAM
Ah yes, That makes sense. Kind regards, Erik.

DYNAM vs NODYNAM
Hello All, In the COBOL documentation at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cobol-zos/6.2?topic=environment-choosing-dynam-nodynam-compiler-option it is said that for example CICS requires the NODYNAM compile option. My idea was that the sole purpose of DYNAM vs NODYNAM was to control dynamic vs static calls, where DYNAM will always lead to dynamic calls, but with NODYNAM only a CALL literal will lead to a static call, a CALL identifier will still lead to a dynamic call. So is it only possible under CICS to use CALL literal in this case (must all calls be static), or can you still use dynamic calling with a CALL identifier? And if the latter is the case, then why is there a requirement to use NODYNAM? Is there some other effect of DYNAM vs NODYNAM that I'm not seeing?
