I hate that, but apparently it works. When I maintain this,
sometimes I will replace the EXIT. with CONTINUE, when I add debugging
statements.

There is no reason for AAA-PARAGRAPH. The compiler doesn't require it (although the
Standard does) and it is never referenced.

If you MUST have an exit paragraph, call them all THE-EXIT or SECTION-EXIT. References are
automatically qualified with the section in which they appear e.g. GO TO THE-EXIT.
