TRUE, FALSE, ALWAYS, NEVER

TRUE, FALSE, ALWAYS, NEVER are data names whose meanings are reserved and automatically provided by S-COBOL.

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Syntax:

Automatically generated in Working-Storage

01  GENERATED-FLAGS.
    02  TRUX        PIC X  VALUE 'T'.
        88  ALWAYS         VALUE 'T'.
        88  NEVER          VALUE 'F'.
    02 FALSX        PIC X  VALUE 'F'.

Comments:

Because TRUE and FALSE are reserved words on some systems, S-COBOL changes every occurrence of TRUE and FALSE to TRUX and FALSX, and generates the flags accordingly.
