What is the difference between static call & Dynamic call ?

Answer Posted / shankar v

when you know the program name to be called, you go for
STATIC call saying,
CALL 'PROGA'

when you dont know the program upfront while coding the
program you go for DYNAMIC call,
CALL WS_PROG (this is a working storage variable for which
the value will be passed to it during the execution of the
program.

And also a major difference between these 2 is the DYNAM
(FOR DYNAMIC CALL )& NODYNAM (FOR STATIC CALL) option on
the jcl. This is the factor which decides whether a call is
dynamic or static.
