U can use perform until.
i.e

do while i <=5
cobol equivllant

perform until i>5

Correction r welcome

The requirement is condition shouldn't change but control should enter the loop.

Using TEST BEFORE before PERFORM is the equivalent for DO - WHILE loop

Thanks for correcting me Jack,

Indeed it is so. I was little confused.The default is test before and we should go for test after.
