Explanation for Next sentence:
sol:
code:
If A>B
next sentence
end-if
display 1
display 2.
display 3.
So, over here the output is no doubt 3 provided A>B id true.
well, but it works is, the next sentence will always search
for the next executable sentence in the flow.
Here, the next executable sentence was display 3.so, it
executes and gives output as 3.
Explanation for Continue:
code:
if a>b
continue
end-if
display 1
display 2.
display 3.
Here in Continue statement, it is just like 'do nothing'.
so, it will executes all the display statements.

What is an in line perform? When would you use it? Anything else you wish to say about it.
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
