Answer / raghunandan

A level 88 is always associated with another variable and
is a CONDITION NAME for that variable.

It does not have a PICTURE clause.

For example-

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. PROG.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 OPTION PIC 9(3).
88 F-C CLASS VALUES 81 THROUGH 100.
88 S-C CLASS VALUES 61 THROUGH 80.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
ACCEPT OPTION.
IF F-C
DISPLAY "CONGRATS"
ELSE
DISPLAY "OK".
STOP RUN.
