>There's no way you can avoid GOTOs in COBOL, try as you might.
I'm not sure I believe this. I would like to be convinced that
this is so. Whether one should or should not use GOTOs in COBOL
is, of course, an entirely different matter.

Larry, you are correct not to believe this. The person who taught the
COBOL course I took claimed have written a goto-less production COBOL
program. She also said that it made the thing a *lot* longer (truly bad
news for COBOL!).
