Yes go to can be used in inline perform. when GO TO is used
in inline perform then irrespective of the number of times
the perform has to execute.. the control will go to GO TO.
example:
PERFORM VARYING A1 FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL A1 > 4
DISPLAY 'SIVAKUMAR'
GO TO DISPLAY-PARA
END-PERFORM.

DISPLAY-PARA
DISPLAY 'KUMAR'.

SYSOUT:
SIVAKUMAR
KUMAR

Instead of
SIVAKUMAR
SIVAKUMAR
SIVAKUMAR
SIVAKUMAR


Actually the perform has to execute 4 times and so the
display should be executed 4 times. but because GO TO is
given inside the inline perform the control goes to display-
para and and dose not come back.
