Executing multiple paragraphs or sections

In structured programming, you usually execute a single paragraph. However, you can execute a group of paragraphs, or a single section or group of sections, by coding the PERFORM . . . THRU statement.

When you use the PERFORM . . . THRU statement, code a paragraph-EXIT statement to clearly indicate the end point of a series of paragraphs.
