PERFORM subr_identifier $[ parameter_list$].

What does it do?
This statement calls the subroutine specified with the name subr_identifier and assigns the actual parameters specified in parameter_list to the formal parameters of the subroutine.

Latest notes:

Subroutines are obsolete. No new subroutines should be created in new programs. Subroutines that have been created in existing programs for internal modularization can continue to be called. Whenever possible, however, external subroutine calls from other programs should be avoided.

For more information about the behavior of class-based exceptions in subroutines, see Class-Based Exceptions in Procedures.
