Both continue and next sentence will go to the next statement.But the slight difference is that Next sentence can be used for future expansion.

Hi,
The actual difference is that continue will take you to the next "logical" statement and next statement will essentially look for a '.' (period) and take the control to the statement after the peroid.

IF A=B
IF C=D
perform some-para
ELSE
IF G=H
continue
ELSE
next sentence
END-IF
END-IF
ELSE
perform some-para-1
END-IF.

I understand it is a stupid example, but then I could come up with this one at the moment.
What will happen here is the control will go to next logical statement after first END-IF.
The next sentence will take the control out of the complete IF-ELSE-END-if...

actually continue will continue next logical statement n next sentence will continue after the "."(period).

here is an example...

perform para-a varying i from 1 by 1 until i=40.
perform para-b.
para-a.
if i=20
next sentence/continue.
para-b.
display i.

in the above mentioned code if next sentence is coded the value of i
is 20 and it gets displayed...if continue is coded the value of i becomes
40.
i hope this example will help u....
