Answer / neo devan
Evaluate verb is one of conditional statement used in cobol.
It is used whenever there are many conditions to check, its
used instead of nested if statements.
The syntax : evaluate true
when name="Robert" display "Robert".
when name="Langdon" display "Langdon".
end evaluate.
evaluate fname also lname
when "Robert" also "Langdon"
display "Robert Langdon".
when "Leonardo" also "Da Vinci"
display "Leonardo Da Vinci".
end evaluate.

Answer / kaarthik
Just to add to the already given answers,
Evaluate is mainly used to eliminate the use of Nested-if's
this is introduced as part of VS-COBOL 2 .
