Difference between next and continue clause..

Answer / mahesh

Continue will take the control to the next statement.
Eg:
else if cond
continue|next sentence
else
perform imperative statement
end-if
move xxx to yyy. ---1
move zzz to yyy. ---2

In this case control will be transferred to line 1.
Next sentence will transfer the control to the next
sentence.That is line no.2.
