1.3.3.6 End Program, End Class, and End Method Headers



The "end" headers are a combination of words, followed by a separator
X period, that indicate the end of a COBOL source program, class definition,
X or method definition. For example:


     END PROGRAM PROGRAM-NAME.
 X   END CLASS CLASS-NAME.
 X   END METHOD METHOD-NAME.

For Programs

X For Classes

X Class-name must be identical to the class-name of the corresponding
X CLASS-ID paragraph.


X For Methods

X Method-name must be identical to the method-name of the corresponding
X METHOD-ID paragraph.
