[open-cobol-list] CANCEL verb and updated sub programs

[Gary Cowell]

I'm running a main program using cobcrun. This main program uses 'call' to invoke another module. Then loops and calls it again after issuing a 'cancel' and a delay. The main program never exits.

The second module runs when it should.

Even though the 'cancel' is issued, if the second module is changed and recompiled during the run of the main program, the changed module is never executed. The main program continues to call the old version of the subroutine. The recompiled one is never picked up.

Is there a setting I need to change somewhere, switch or environment variable to have the main program call the new version of a module as soon as it's recompiled?
