This is the link to NEXT SENTENCE in the manual
and
this is the link to CONTINUE

read and then if you have questions, post the question in this thread.

JCL, SQL and code in programs have an irritating habit of doing what you say,
not what you meant.

Hi

They appear to be similar, that is, the control goes to the next sentence in the paragraph. But, Next Sentence would
take the control to the sentence after it finds a full stop (.). Check out by writing the following code example, one if
sentence followed by 3 display statements
If 1 > 0 then next sentence
end if
display 'line 1'
display 'line 2'.
display 'line 3'. *** Note- there is a dot (.) only at the end of
the last 2 statements, see the effect by replacing Next Sentence with Continue :)
