Set to True is used for 88 level condition data names.

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.

Answer / sroul4

in addition to #3

Set to true means the value is of the variable is 1 and 0
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.
