Answer / tidda
For a standalone program, it is the same. But STOP RUN from
a called program will not return control to the calling
program.

Answer / nilesh
Goback will return control back to OS ie its logical ending
of program but OS will decide what to do next , but
fortunately as GOBACK is the last statement in program so
it terminates.
GOBACK is specially used for called progam but we can use
it in main(STAND ALONE) program also.

Answer / vampire
If GOBACK is coded instead of STOPRUN in a cobol program
which is not called by any other program nothing wrong will
happen. The program will give desired results.
Generally 3 things are coded to halt the execution of a
program they are
STOP RUN
GOBACK
EXIT PROGRAM
STOP RUN is frequently used and mainly coded in main
programs(calling program). The control will be returned to OS.
GOBACK is coded in the mainly in the subroutines or called
programs. The control will be returned to the calling
program. If STOP RUN is coded in the calling program the
program will go to an infinite execution. GOBACK can be
coded in the programs which is not called by any programs
instead of STOP RUN.
EXIT PROGRAM is seldom used.
