Can we use multiple ANDs with WHEN

Plz refer the below piece of code:

EVALUATE TRUE
WHEN A AND B
ADD 100 to WS1
WHEN D AND E
ADD 200 to WS2
END-EVALUATE

is AND legal??

Can we use multiple ANDs with WHEN?

I tested this and it is working fine. I am surprised to see it is working fine. Is this kind of AND usage documented somewhere ???

Hello,

At the top of the page is a link to "IBM Manuals". Look in the COBOL Language Reference for your release of COBOL.

Here is a link to the EVALUATE description:
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/handheld/Connected/BOOKS/igy3lr50/6.2.13

There is also additoinal info in the Programming Guide:

Morning Sir !

You could use ALSO instead of and with WHEN.
As Dick told, read about Evaluate in the manual.

You can also use Multiple AND with IF condition clause.
I havn't tried multiple AND with WHEN... Its better to use EVALUATE clause to handle MULTIPLE AND..

Hello,

Please do not add things to topics that provide no new information. . .

And when new information is added, it should be tested/verified not something that has not been tried. . .
