Hi,

In one of our production COBOL programs, we have the code as shown below:

it is an unreferenced Paragraph name, thus the fact that it is dup will not give a problem.

Thank you. 8)

How to figure out such other non-required entries from the program to remove them forever. Question

SECTIONs can be PERFORMed with or without the THRU option. As coded, the EXIT will be treated as a "no operation" statement and the PERFORM will be terminated by the beginning of the next SECTION or end of program. To confirm this, execute this part of the code as is in a little test program. I see unexpected results from this part of the program. Also, this should be covered in the Language Reference Manual. As Dick mentioned, dup paragraph names only present a problem if it is referenced. I'd clean up that code because of the "unmatched" EXIT paragraph though.
