An EXEC LINK is similar to a call; it invokes a separate CICS program and ends with a RETURN to the invoking program whereas an EXEC XCTL transfers control to another CICS program and does not get control back. And COBOL II allows for static calls which are more efficient than the LINK instruction which establishes a new run-unit.
