Answer / suresh babu
You can use the EVALUATE statement instead of a series of
nested IF statements to test several conditions and specify
a different action for each. Thus we can use the EVALUATE
statement to implement a case structure or decision table.
We can also use the it to cause multiple conditions to lead
to the same processing.

Hai friends why we need to read a file before re-write a record?
I have a source program compiled with Cobol-2. The output file has a record length of 100 defined in the program but a record of 60 bytes getting written into it. i.e. The rest of 40 bytes I am not Writing anything. But it by default puts some values into the last 40 bytes. However it does not impact anything. But when Compiled the module with Enterprise Cobol the last 40 bytes were spaces as fillers. Can anyone explain?
