.NEXT Sentence is used to skip the statements and the control will move after the period operator.
.CONTINUE is statement in which the control is move to after scope terminator.
Example:
ws section
01 A PIC 99 VALUE 2
O1 B PIC 99 VALUE 2
01 C PIC 99 VALUE 3
01 D PIC 99 VALUE 3
01 E PIC XXXXX VALUE HAI
01 F PIC XXXXX VALUE HELLO
01 G PIC X(3) VALUE HAI
01 H PIC X(5) VALUE HELLO
PROCEDURE DIVISION
IF A = B
IF C = D
NEXT SENTENCE
DISPLAY 'NOT EQUAL'
END-IF.
DISPLAY 'EQUAL'
END-IF.
IF E = G
IF F = H
CONTINUE
DISPLAY 'STRINGS ARE NOT EQUAL'
END-IF.
DISPLAY 'STRINGS ARE EQUAL'
