Processing continues with the first statement that follows the converse statement.
Although converse statements are relatively simple to use, you can get better performance if you use a show statement that returns to the beginning of the same program. The show statement requires a more complicated design because the re-invoked program starts at the first line, and that initial code must determine whether the program is being invoked at the beginning or in the middle of a user-code interaction.
