Answer / pradeep

It will execute only 10 Times only

See Below Code

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. MOVEPGM.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-COUNT PIC 9(2).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
A1000-MAIN-PARA.
MOVE 10 TO WS-COUNT
PERFORM PARA-X WS-COUNT TIMES.
STOP RUN.
PARA-X.
DISPLAY "TEST1".
MOVE 5 TO WS-COUNT.

Output Looks like this:

COMMAND INPUT ===>
********************************* TOP OF DATA *****
TEST1
TEST1
TEST1

******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ***
