Question: What is an in line PERFORM? When would you use it? Anything else to say about it?
Answer: The PERFORM and END-PERFORM statements bracket all COBOL II statements between them. The COBOL equivalent is to PERFORM or PERFORM THRU a paragraph. In line PERFORMs work as long as there are no internal GO TOs, not even to an exit. The in line PERFORM for readability should not exceed a page length - often it will reference other PERFORM paragraphs. |

Perform stmt doesn't contain any paragraph name, it will perform all the instructions with in that. |
