Evaluate statement - clarification

Hi .

Can anyone tell me what will happen to this.

Evaluate TRUE
Condition 1 : Display 'hI'
Condition 2 : Display 'hello'
Other : Display 'Bye'
End-evaluate

What will happen if both the conditions are true. In 'C' the control will be going to the first met condition. If we do not code break statement the successive statements will be executed. Is it like that in Cobol too?

The Fine Manual. Experimentation. Colleagues. Google.

Any of the above could allow you to answer your own question.

When you know one language and are using another think in terms of general logic (good to express in pseudo-code) rather than "if only I could do it using a construct in this other language".

As pointed by Bill, manuals should help you. So heres the link, in case you dont want to search for it.
