CONDITIONS-NAME CONDITION:

 The condition name is an entity which itself is a condition and these can have either a true or false value. Though, a condition name cannot be defined separately. It should always be related to a data name known as the conditional variable. It may be defined in any part of the DATA DIVISION and should be placed instantly after the entry which defines the conditional variable. Here more than one condition names are related to the conditional variable. In that situation all the condition name entries should follow the entry defining the conditional variable.

The condition name entry identifies a single value or a set of values and/or a range of values for the conditional variable. Whenever it supposes any of these values the condition name becomes true. Or else, the condition name is set to false. It should be noted that it is not possible to set the value of a condition name explicitly.

The value of a condition name is always set implicitly depending on the present value of the conditional variable. The format for the condition name entry is as shown below.
