Answer / mahathiaz
In COBOL II the 88 levels can be set rather than moving
their associated values to the related data item.

Answer / mujib khan
condition name condition is one of the condition statement..
others are
relative,sign,class,compound.
88 level no can be used as condition name
eg:
01 a pic x(1).
88 std pic value 'a' 'b' 'c'.
here in procedure division if we code
set std to true.
means every time it will return a thts the true value.

if false.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 3 Yes | 0 No |
'SET TO TRUE' is used to set the value of 88 level data items.
Example
-----------
05 ws-paper pic x(1).
88 ws-hindu value 'y'.
88 ws-toi value 'n'.
if set ws-hindu to true, then ws-paper contains value 'y'
This is same as move 'y' to ws-paper
if set ws-toi to true, then ws-paper contains value 'n'
This is same as move 'n' to ws-paper
Please correct me if i am wrong.
