IBM Natural Interview Question:

Explain difference between escape(top or bottom) and escape immediate(top or bottom?

Submitted by: Administrator

ESCAPE TOP indicates that processing is to continue at the
top of the processing loop. This starts the next repetition
of the processing loop.


ESCAPE BOTTOM indicates that processing is to continue with
the first statement following the processing loop. The loop
is terminated and loop-end processing (final BREAK and END
DATA) is executed for all loops being terminated.

Whereas if you specify the keyword IMMEDIATE, no loop-end
processing will be performed(i.e.,final BREAK and END DATA
is not executed for all loops being terminated).
