Answer / guest
As you said giving IDENTIFICATION DIVISION & PROGRAM-ID is
mandatory in a normal cobol program. This is important for
a program to get compiled. But if you try executing the
program with these two statements alone, you will get SOC4
abend as your program tries to access a storage location to
which it was not authorized.
For a program to run successfully, all the 4 divisions and
the program-id paragraph are mandatory.
