NOCMPR2

Under NOCMPR2, the ON OVERFLOW condition exists if the program specified by the CALL statement cannot be made available for execution at that time.

NOCMPR2 implements 85 COBOL Standard rules and defines the ON OVERFLOW condition to handle any "recoverable" condition that may prevent the called program from being made available.

Only errors that occur on the actual LOAD of the called program raise the ON OVERFLOW condition. Errors occurring after the program has been loaded and started execution do not raise the condition.
