I am having trouble with program execution when I use the same name for multiple program units.  Why does this occur?

Answer:

The PROGRAM-ID name is used for the program name in PERCobol.  Generally, it's best to have the PROGRAM-ID match the filename.  PERCobol does give a warning when there is a mismatch.
