I think it is syntatically incorrect as both the initiation para and end para are same in this case for PERFORM statement

Actually, COBOL 3.4 accepts it without error:
| Code: |
000013 PROCEDURE DIVISION.
000014 MOVE LV-BYTE TO WS-VALUE-BYTE.
000015 DISPLAY WS-COMP-FIELD.
000016 PERFORM 1000-INITIALIZE THROUGH 1000-INITIALIZE.
000017 STOP RUN.
000018
000019 1000-INITIALIZE.
000020 MOVE X'05' TO LV-BYTE.

It indeed performed 1000-para only once.
| Code: |
0000-PARA.
PERFORM 1000-PARA THRU 1000-PARA.
STOP RUN.
1000-PARA.
DISPLAY '1000-'.
|
result
| Code: |
********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
1000-
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ******************************** |
