You may have just started a new offspring of the thread.  Consider your
original statement with one addition:

IF A > B
   DISPLAY "A > B"
   IF A > C
      DISPLAY "IF NO ELSE STMT"
   END-IF
ELSE
   IF A = B
      DISPLAY "A = B"
   ELSE
      DISPLAY "A < B"
   END-IF
END-IF.

The first END-IF is required otherwise the first ELSE would fall under the
"IF A > C".  Thus the need for a scope terminator for IF.
There is no such requirement for INSPECT.
