The COBOL/VSE Language Reference guide under the "Call Statement" states :
"When the called subprogram is entered through an ENTRY statement,
literal-1 or
the contents of identifier-1 must be the same as the name specified in the
called subprograms ENTRY statement."
The only limitation I could find regarding calling ENTRY statements rather
than
program-names is that the caller and callee must be in the same load module
(or PHASE). This is explained on Pg 56 "Conventions for Program-Names" in
the
same manual.
You can reference the updated version of this and other COBOL/VSE manuals in
PDF form from the COBOL/VSE website which is at :
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/cobol/vse/library/
>From your description of how your COBOL/VSE programs are constructed, I
would
not think this would be your problem. But if you would like, you can send me
the complete compile listings (please use CBL LIST) and linkedit map from
the two COBOL/VSE programs involved and I will review them for you to
confirm what you have setup is correct.
