An "infinite loop" feature was overlooked when the COBOL standard added support for EXIT PERFORM. This feature is scheduled to be added in the next COBOL standard ("202x"). But seeing that there was 12 years between the 2002 and 2014 standards, and 17 years between the 1985 and 2002 standards, who knows when the next one will be complete. I have re-submitted an RFE for "PERFORM UNTIL EXIT" to be supported in Enterprise COBOL. Micro Focus COBOL, GNU COBOL and many (most?) other vendors already support this basic feature. Please vote!
