What is the output generated by the following code?
01 GRP-I.
05 SUBFLD1 PIC XX VALUE "AB".
05 FILTER PIC X(6) VALUE SPACES.
01 GRP-2 REDEFINED GRP-1.
05 SUB-FLD2 PIC XX.
05 SUB-FLD3 PIC XX.
05 FILTER PIC X(4).
IF SUB-FLD1 NOT = SPACES
DISPLAY "SUBFLD1"
MOVE "ABBCCD" TO GRP-1
IF SUB-FLD3 = SPACES
DISPLAY "SPACES"
ELSE
DISPLAY "SUBFLD3"
DISPLAY "END"
ELSE
DISPLAY "SPACES"
DISPLAY "END".
(a) SUBFLD1
SUBFLD3
END
(b) SPACES
END
(c) SUBFLD1
END
(d) SUBFLD1
SPACES

I doubt if we can code like IF ELSE ELSE....since no scope
terminatior (END-IF) has been given for the nested IF ELSE
so it should throw a compilation error. It can display the
output as (a) ONLY if the code is something like below:
01 GRP-1.
05 SUBFLD1 PIC XX VALUE "AB".
05 FILTER PIC X(6) VALUE SPACES.
01 GRP-2 REDEFINED GRP-1.
05 SUB-FLD2 PIC XX.
05 SUB-FLD3 PIC XX.
05 FILTER PIC X(4).
IF SUB-FLD1 NOT = SPACES
DISPLAY "SUBFLD1"
MOVE "ABBCCD" TO GRP-1
IF SUB-FLD3 = SPACES
DISPLAY "SPACES"
ELSE
DISPLAY "SUBFLD3"
DISPLAY "END"
END-IF
ELSE
DISPLAY "SPACES"
DISPLAY "END".
Please correct me if I am wrong.
