CHAPTER 9Iteration Beyond the Basic PERFORM.PPT

Structured COBOL Programming, Stern Stern, 9th Edition CHAPTER 9Iteration: Beyond the Basic PERFORM OBJECTIVES To familiarize you with: 1. The simple PERFORM. 2. How PERFORM statements are used for iteration. 3. The various options available with the PERFORM statement. The Simple PERFORM Reviewed The Basic Formats There are two formats of the basic PERFORM: 1. In-Line PERFORM  PERFORM Statements to be executed END-PERFORM The Basic Formats 2. PERFORM Paragraph-Name PERFORM [paragraph-name-1]control returns to this statement The PERFORM paragraph-name statement will: 1. Execute all instructions in the named paragraph. 2. Transfer control to the next instruction in sequence, after the PERFORM paragraph-name. The Basic FormatsPseudocode Pseudocode for a PERFORM paragraph-name PERFORM Paragraph . .

Modularizing Programs Using PERFORM Statements Version 1: Nonmodular Approach IF AMT1-IN AMT2-IN ADD AMT1-IN TO TOTAL-1 ADD AMT2-IN TO TOTAL-2 ADD 1 TO OK-REC-CTR ELSE ADD AMT2-IN TO TOTAL-3 ADD 1 TO ERR-REC-CTR END-IF. Modularizing Programs Using PERFORM Statements Version 2: Modular ApproachIF AMT1-IN AMT2-IN PERFORM 300-OK-RTN ELSE PERFORM 400-ERR-RTN END-IF. 300-OK-RTN. ADD AMT1-IN TO TOTAL-1 ADD AMT2-IN TO TOTAL-2 ADD 1 TO OK-REC-CTR. 400-ERR-RTN. ADD AMT2-IN TO TOTAL-3 ADD 1 TO ERR-REC-CTR. Executing a Group of Paragraphs with a Simple PERFORM PERFORM paragraph-name-1 {THROUGH} {THRU} paragraph-name-2 The PERFORM paragraph-name executes all statements beginning at paragraph-name-1 until the end of paragraph-name-2 is reached. Control is then transferred to the statement directly following the PERFORM. The Use and Misuse of GO TO Statements Format: GO TO paragraph-name-1 Unlike the PERFORM, which returns control to the statement f
