Answer / mahathiaz

In COBOL II the 88 levels can be set rather than moving

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.

Answer / azharuddinsyed

'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.
