HI All,

I have to insert a value 'D' stored in INSTITUTE in one of the variales: namea,nameb,namec,named,namee,namef. Before that i have to check whether the variables are empy or not.If there is any other logic other than if-else,Please share with me.thank You

if namea = spaces
move INSTITUTE to namea
else if nameb = spaces
move INSTITUTE to nameb
else if namec = spaces
move INSTITUTE to namec
else if named = spaces
move INSTITUTE to named
else if namee = spaces
move INSTITUTE to namee
end if
end if
end if

I think using evaluate would make it look better, though it is not a different logic.

Correct me if I am wrong.

jerry is right it is one of the major aspect of vs-cobolii to use evaluate case statements rather than nested ifs
