MOVE 1 TO I.
PERFORM UNTIL I > 5
DISPLAY ' HELLO LAKSHMI...'
COMPUTE I = I + 1
END-PERFORM.

It will display HELLO LAKSHMI 5 times.

In line Perform is used when there is 1-2 (depending on some other conditions) executable statements. In that case a new Paragraph or section may not be worthy...

The Inline Performs are worked until there is no inrenal GOTO statements,
