When set of statements are used only in one place then we
can group all of them within PERFORM END-PERFORM structure.
This is called INLINE PERFORM. This is equal to DO..END
structure of other languages.
PERFORM
ADD A TO B
MULTIPLE B BY C
DISPLAY 'VALUE OF A+B*C ' C
END-PERFORM

Answer / tiny
PERFORM ... ...
END PERFORM
When the body of the perform will not be used in other
paragraphs. If the body of the perform is a generic type of
code (used from various other places in the program), it
would be better to put the code in a separate para and use
PERFORM paraname rather than in-line perform.It increases
the readability of the program.
