Answer Posted / gaurav
Rahul's answer is correct.
Please note that the W-NUM is defined as PIC 9, hence it
can contain only a single digit numberic number i.e from
number 0 to number 9. Thus when the PARA-X is executed 9
times when W-NUM contains 9. It will not be able to add
further 1 to W-NUM, thus it will go in a infinite loop.
Hope this clear things.
