Answer / prasad kulkarni

The perform statement is used to execute group of
consecutive statements written somewhere else in the
program. (JUST LIKE WE CALL FUNCTIONS IN C LANGUAGE).
During execution when a perform statement is encountered, a
temporary departure from the normal sequential execution
takes place and the statements contained in the specified
para are executed and then control implicitely
(automatically) returns to the next statement following the
perform statement.
