First of all, when you code , you have to know what do you
want to do....
Perform after next sentence doesn't make sense ..it never
executes....

Answer / manj
CONTINUE inside IF loop searches for the first terminator
END-IF and comes out.
NEXT SENTENCE searches for the first FULL STOP and goes to
the next line after that.
The above code does nothing. IF A=B, control comes to the
next line after END-IF and same for ELSE part too.

This code looks funny.but still some times it is useful. If
A=B the control will be start immediately from after end-if.
If A not = B then perform loop will executes. there is no
meaning of next sentence
