What is the significance of the PROGRAM-ID paragraph? If
this name doesnt match with the name of the COBOL program,
does it make a difference? Is the name specified in the
PROGRAM-ID paragraph used as a name for the load module or
any such thing?

Load module will be created based on the member name which
you have used for creating code.Whether you give program id
name as member name or different, but load will be created
on the member name.

Answer / santy
PROGRAM-ID name is given in PROGRAM-ID prargraph. you can
give program id name as member name or different, but
mostly we put same as member name, because whenever you
submit the program then load module will be crated on the
member name. and if the load module name is not match with
program id name then program will abend.
