How to replace the GOTO statement in COBOL without changing
the structure of program. e.g. consider following code...
I.D.
E.D.
D.D.
P.D.
compute C = A + B.
GOTO para 100-display.
compute D = C - D.
GOTO 200-display.
some other logic......
........
GOTO 300-para.
......
......
GOTO 400-para.
Now I want to replacce all GOTO statements without
changing the structure and otput of program.

Using evaluate statement
take the value of para in a variable then evaluate it for ex.

when 100 perform para-100
when 200 perform para-200
