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.

My Opinion is we won't be able to change GOTO with Perform
here. why because if we use perform instead of goto like
this..
compute C = A + B.
Perform para 100-display.
compute D = C - D.
Perform 200-display.

what will happen means once c value is calculated. It wil
execute 100-display para once it completes. It will
calcualte d value. which is not the case in goto. Once C
value is calculated the control is passed to 100-display
para. The control will never return and cal D value.
what say!!
Correct me if i'm wrong please
