Alain,

You are not correct. Other compilers are detecting error if you USE this 
duplicate paragraph name (perform thru).
Otherwise it's a warning (AS400) or even nothing (Microfocus)

> if you use vim you can safely edit this program ant type "g/EXIT/d"

The goal is not to correct a Cobol program !!!
The goal is to make OC deal with such dumb issues to be more compatible with 
other major compilers.

> What strange/funny cobol programmer has write something like that ?

I don't know but I expect it to be the result of copy/paste
