What is the difference between NEXT SENTENCE and CONTINUE?

NEXT SENTENCE gives control to the verb following the next period. CONTINUE gives control to the next verb after the explicit scope terminator. (This is not one of COBOL. It's finer implementations). It's safest to use CONTINUE rather than NEXT SENTENCE in COBOL II.
