COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

object
ANY
matches any corresponding selection subject.
condition
is a relation condition, class condition, condition-name condition, switch-status condition,
sign condition, or complex condition.
TRUE
FALSE
are truth values.
NOT
inverts the comparison. A match occurs when the value of a subject differs from the
value of the corresponding object or lies outside the range specified for the object.
range
identifier-1, identifier-2
are any identifiers (they can be qualified, subscripted, or reference-modified). They
can be compared to any corresponding selection subjects being compared in a
conditional expression.
literal-1, literal-2
can be any literals. They can be compared to any corresponding selection subject
being compared in a conditional expression.
arith-exp-1, arith-exp-2
are arithmetic expressions. They can be compared to any selection subject being
in a conditional expression.
THROUGH, THRU
indicate that a range of values is to be compared. Two operands combined by
THROUGH or THRU must be of the same class (alphabetic, alphanumeric, or
numeric). The two operands thus connected constitute a single selection object.
