== Why is this an issue?

When using some transaction managers like IBM IMS, each COBOL program is in fact considered a sub-program by the transaction manager. The ``++GOBACK++`` statement returns control to the transaction manager, but using ``++STOP RUN++`` might cause unpredictable results or abnormal termination.
