Can you not read Appendix B of the COBOL Language Reference manual for Enterprise COBOL (SC23-8528), which clearly states a maximum of 4,194,303 PERFORM statements?you mean,i can use any no of times??
And you are allowed to PERFORM the same paragraph / section more than once....It does clearly state that, but I wonder exactly what it means? The maximum number of Procedure-names (same source) is 1,048,575
Ta! Daa!! And we have re-usability within the same module. . .It does clearly state that, but I wonder exactly what it means? The maximum number of Procedure-names (same source) is 1,048,575
