Referring to the sample code above, the INITIAL
attribute is described by which one of the following
statements?
Choice 1
Only on dynamic CALLs will the called program's
WORKING-STORAGE fields have the initial values
that are coded for them.
Choice 2
Only on static CALLs will the called program's
WORKING-STORAGE fields have the initial values
that are coded for them.
Choice 3
It informs the compiler that each time the
program is called, all WORKING-STORAGE
fields will have the initial values that are
coded for them.
Choice 4
Coding this attribute for a statically or dynamically
CALLed program has the same effect as coding the
CANCEL command before issuing the next CALL to
it.
Choice 5
When called, all files defined with the EXTERNAL
attribute are closed when the program returns
control to the calling program.
