Hi There,
The EXIT verb in COBOL does not produce an EXIT instruction in the object program - it is ignored, but is maintained for documentation purposes only. Whenever a section is PERFORMed COBOL will generate its own (hidden) EXIT instruction when the next section-name is encountered. |

logically there is no differece between an Exit or a Continue statement except that when EXIT is coded, it should be the only statement in the paragraph.
