Answer #9 would never compile in the first place. We cannot
have and END-IF. after an END-IF. without an IF statement.
The ANSI-85 specifically flags that NEXT SENTENCE within IF
ELSE END-IF Block.
In the example provided in #4
If A>B
next sentence
end-if
display 1
display 2.
display 3.
when A>B is true Display 3 will be executed and if not
display 1 display 2 display 3 will be executed. This means
that we want to display 1 and display 2 to be executed in
when A > B is false. In such cases it should be coded in the
else portion of the code. When display 1 and display 2
should be executed irrespective of the test condition, then
the next sentence needs to be replaced with continue.
Avoid coding a next sentence within if - else - end-if blocks.
Very simple.
