What will happen if you code GO BACK instead of STOP RUN in
a stand alone COBOL program ?

Answer Posted / 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.
