MF cobol v4.1.20-e, with OS SunOS argos 5.6 Generic_105181-30 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise. I´m just doing a CALL: like this
MOVE "ETESP001.int" TO WS-PROGRAM
CALL WS-PROGRAM USING WS-ETESP001-LNK
CANCEL WS-PROGRAM
This programs the one that call and the other one that is being calling are compile with "cob" from MF COBOL.

I'm not sure about your OS and MF version.
On AIX 4.3 and Server Express 2.0.11 you can compile you programs into ".so" modules (shared object).
These are called and managed by the OS. When you compile into ".int" or ".gnt" the call is done by cobol (cobrun).
The advantage of ".so" modules is that the program resides in memory once, while more processes are using them. You don't have to worry about your Working Storage having values from another process. This can only happen when you write multithreaded programs. In that case multiple threads share the Working Storage of a shared object.
So they invented the Local Storage section.
To try it just compile using cob -z. Take out the ".int" extension in your call-verb.
