Thanks for that suggestion. I tried moving SUB-PARA-2 in front of SUB-PARA-1,
but the result was the same.
Tom Ross, if you're lurking and available, can you explain why I get this
warning, or better what I can do to prevent it?
I was able to eliminate the message with the following change (hoisting the GO
TO in SUB-PARA-1 back into PARA-1):
MOVE PARM-DD TO WS-SUB.
PERFORM PARA-1 THRU PARA-EXIT.
GO TO RETURN-TO-CALLER.
PARA-1.
IF PARM-MM > 06
MOVE +2 TO WS-SUB.
PERFORM SUB-PARA-2.
PERFORM SUB-PARA-1.
IF WS-SUB = 0
GO TO PARA-EXIT
END-IF.
MOVE WS-SUB TO RETURN-CODE.
GO TO PARA-EXIT.
SUB-PARA-2.
DISPLAY WS-SUB.
SUB-PARA-1.
IF WS-SUB < 6
MOVE 0 TO WS-SUB
END-IF.
PARA-EXIT.
EXIT.
RETURN-TO-CALLER.
GOBACK.
In the real code from which this code structure is extracted and simplified,
there are over 60 occurrences of PERFORM SUB-PARA-1, so it's going to be quite
tedious to change them all in this manner.

I haven't written in COBOL in over 30 years, but I suspect it's because
SUB-PARA-2 sits in between SUB-PARA-1 and PARA-EXIT.
000044 SUB-PARA-1.
000045 IF WS-SUB < 6
000046 1 MOVE 0 TO WS-SUB
000047 1 GO TO PARA-EXIT.
000048
000049 SUB-PARA-2.
000050 DISPLAY WS-SUB.
000051
000052 PARA-EXIT.
000053 EXIT.
