Actually, you can still do DYNAMic call with call literal. CALL 'ABC" can
still be DYNAM.
Mostly good news: If you look around page 405 of the Version 6.3 PG (and there
is a corresponding page for previous versions of the compiler) you will find a
description of INFO BYTES. Offset 8, bit 5
it has the name of program to be called.

Subject: Dynamic and static linked COBOL programs
⚠ EXTERNAL MESSAGE
Hello List,
Is there a way I can tell if a COBOL program was compiled and linked
dynamically or statically? Most of our programmers can't tell and there are
times when they compile and link and static program as dynamic and it causes
issues when the program is executed.
Thanks,
Ron McCabe
