I can think of a couple of obscure ways, but I'm not sure they're worth
it.
1) a ":SHOWPROC" command, with the output captured, might show you
the entry point:
QPRI CPUTIME STATE JOBNUM PIN (PROGRAM) STEP
C152 0:00.641 WAIT S325 124 :RUN t.pub,fred;debug
C152 0:01.049 READY S325 86 (T.PUB.SIELER)
But...that won't work in many cases.
2) <plug> Use SHOT (version 2.21 or later) from Lund Performance Solutions
SHOT [2.21] - LPS Toolbox [A.03c] (c) 1995 Lund Performance Solutions
...
SHOT [Delta]: adm + entry

Wow...Joe struck out, but I figured it out! I'm chortling, because
for over 20 years, I've refused to answer if someone asks me "do you
know how to program in COBOL"! :)
Example:
...
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
PROC SECTION 1.
PROC-PARA.
display "main entry".
move "main entry" to myentry.
if i not equal i
entry "fred"
move "fred" to myentry
display "fred".
display "my entry = ", myentry.
When compiled & run with ",FRED", the "main entry" line isn't executed.
As for the "if i not equal i"? Heck...I don't know how to say
"if false then" in COBOL...COBOL doesn't seem to know the word "false" :)
