which COBOL version are you using? Is it Dell COBOL? If so which version exactly?

I found this is not working if there are multiple calls to the same program with different number of parameters. If there is a call with 3 parameters and the subsequent call is with 2 parameters then the count is displayed as 3 in both cases.

Please help if you have a solution for this.

Thanks
Pratheep
