How can the EXIT statement be used to terminate the execution of a COBOL program?
- By setting a specific condition code
- By specifying EXIT PROGRAM in the EXIT statement
- By using PERFORM UNTIL condition with EXIT
- By using STOP RUN statement
The EXIT statement alone does not terminate the execution of a COBOL program. To achieve program termination, you can use the STOP RUN statement, which explicitly instructs the COBOL run-time system to stop the program execution.
