Answer / uday

if a=b the loop will be executed(a-test) and then control will
comeback to the loop.here next sentence is used thats why the
control is going to execute statements after end-if ,if any.

Answer / rkt

Hi,
If a=b then para a-test will be performed from a-test to
a-exit , once it will be completed the control will returns
back to perform statement at line number 7 then the next
sentence statement will be executed. when next sentence will
be executed the control will look for a period (.) if it
finds then it will execute just after line of the para. here
it is if a=d , So the control will check for the condition
a=d and if its true then will perform d-test through d-exit.

Answer / adarsha

NOP ! none of the above.. compiler Error !!!

When you are using NEXT SENTENCE or continue, their
shouldn't be any sentence/paragraph name or anything before
or after it with in that condition...

if a=b
NEXT SENTENCE
.
.
. should be the syntax ... perform a-test through a-exit
shouldn't be coded 1


hope it helps u !

Answer / khasim

compile error.
d-test and d-exit. not defined in Procedure division.

if we code the d-test and d-exit.
control goes to d-exit. not goback to a-test1.

after d-exit, it will go back.
