CONDITION name is identified with special level ‘88’. A condition name specifies the value that a field can contain and used as abbreviation in condition checking.
01 SEX PIC X.
88 MALE VALUE ‘1’
88 FEMALE VALUE ‘2’ ‘3’.
IF SEX=1 can also be verified as IF MALE in Procedure division.
‘SET FEMALE TO TRUE ‘ moves value 2 to SEX. If multiple values are coded on VALUE clause, the first value will be moved when it is set to true.
