Hi venkumar,

An EJECT statement is coded just before the start of the PROCEDURE DIVISION. This separates the PROCEDURE DIVISION from the other divisions in the program listing. If you make liberal use of page ejects and blank lines in you program, you can greatly improve a program's readability. This may be accomplished by using the SKIP and EJECT statements with some compilers or by using blank lines and special control characters with others.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

You are correct.The preprocessed code is structured to reflect the structuring of the original source code.
