  Recursize activation of PERFORM

  Explanation:  The program attempted to execute a PERFORM statement
  that has the same end paragraph or section as a currently active
  PERFORM statement.  Recursive activation of PERFORM statements
  violates the rules for nesting PERFORM statements in COBOL programs.
  PERFORM statements with the same end paragraph or section cannot be
  active at the same time.

  User Action: Check the program logic of the PERFORM statements to
  ensure that the program exits from the first PERFORM statement before
  attempting to execute a subsequent PERFORM statement with the same
  end paragraph or section.
