I have a COBOL main program which is calling sub program, the number of calling parameters used in main program are 4 whereas in sub program it's 5.
Sub program is passing 5 parameters back to main program
Will there be any compilation error? Or main program parameters displays junk values?

Answer / nehal jethava
When the main program passes fewer parameters than the sub program expects, the compiler will raise an error because the sub program cannot access the fifth parameter it is expecting. This is a mismatch in the interface and is not allowed in COBOL.
