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.
