ILE COBOL Language Reference


Next Executable Statement

Note:
The term "next executable statement" refers to the next COBOL statement to which control is transferred, according to the rules given above. There is no next executable statement under these circumstances:

When there is no next executable statement and control is not transferred outside the COBOL program, the program flow of control is undefined unless the program execution is in the nondeclarative procedures portion of a program under control of a CALL statement, in which case an implicit EXIT PROGRAM statement is executed.
