Syntax Rules
- An end marker must be present in every source unit that contains, is contained in, or precedes another source unit.
- Program-name-1 must be identical to the program-name declared in a preceding Program-ID paragraph.
- If a Program-ID paragraph declaring a specific program-name is stated between the Program-ID paragraph and the END PROGRAM
marker for program-name-1, then an END PROGRAM marker referencing program-name must precede the END PROGRAM marker referencing
program-name-1.
- Function-prototype-name-1 must be identical to the function-prototype-name declared in the corresponding Function-ID paragraph.

the first statement of a source unit or another end marker that terminates the containing source unit.
