we can code the period at end of every COBOL statement or can code in separate line at end of the paragraph.

if you coded at end of the para it will consider a period at end of each and every statement even you missed some where in that particular para.

eg:
       MOVE WS-OUT-STRNG       TO WS-MAC-KEY  
 END-IF
