Answer / muttaiah
My Opinion is we won't be able to change GOTO with Perform
here. why because if we use perform instead of goto like
this..
compute C = A + B.
Perform para 100-display.
compute D = C - D.
Perform 200-display.
what will happen means once c value is calculated. It wil
execute 100-display para once it completes. It will
calcualte d value. which is not the case in goto. Once C
value is calculated the control is passed to 100-display
para. The control will never return and cal D value.
what say!!
Correct me if i'm wrong please

Using evaluate statement
take the value of para in a variable then evaluate it for ex.
evaluate xyz
when 100 perform para-100
when 200 perform para-200

PERFORM 200-display.
some other logic......

PERFORM 300-para.
