Hi,

In CICS to call another program we use XCTL and LINK. Is it a normal rule to avoid CALL in COBOL CICS program? Please advise.

Do you understand what each type of call does?

There are times when you want to use CICS XCTL, times when you want to use CICS LINK, and times when you want to use COBOL CALL, even in a CICS program. You need to learn the differences between them to start learning when to use each.
