A problem arising very often is the mess created by nested IF's.
Forgetting 1 ELSE or END-IF has cost many man-years.
Everybody tries to avoid this problem by aligning IF, ELSE and END-IF as far as possible.
Nevertheless, this system fails very often.
My suggestion, (I use it in pseudo-code) :
NUMBER the IF, ELSE and END-IF statements as follows :
e.g.
IF1 condition
statement
IF2 condition
statement
ELSE2
statement
END-IF2
statement
ELSE1
statement
END-IF1
This numbering helps to understand the structure of nested IF's and makes it easy to discover errors.
COBOL-compiler should accept this structure and create an error (or only a warning?) if numbering is not coherent.
Just a suggestion of an old programmer - if ever accepted, it will not be useful for me anymore.
