 01 b pic x.                         
    88 BS VALUE "S".                 
    88 BN VALUE "N".                 
** ----------------------------------
 PROCEDURE DIVISION.                 
    
     SET BS TO TRUE                  
    
    if (a equal "S"                 
     and bS          )               
         display "( OK"              
     end-if                          
     if  a equal "S"                 
     and bS                          
         display "  OK"              
     end-if
