  Text:         Paragraph is target of >255 GOTOs - PERFORM
                optimization omitted
 
  Severity:     Cautionary
 
  Explanation:  PERFORM statements cannot be optimized if any COBOL
                paragraph or section has more than 255 references. This
                optimization phase will be omitted.
