Most of us don't use sections in the PROCEDURE DIVISION any more, if we ever did. But there are still older programs around that used that construct. Gary mentions them only in connection with the SORT verb. The construct deserves a separate mention.Well here is one programmer that does use Sections within Cobol programs. Performing Sections is more efficient then paragraphs with 'thru' in most implementations. and here is another who does use them. For what I can remember, we always used them. In the old days, we had to use them for memory handling reasons (MF L2 environment). But, apart of this, I think that using sections makes programs even more readable and clear Il 14/03/2013 18:15, Gary Cutler ha
