6. IBM COBOL Reference Manual: ‘The presence of one or more IF statements within the initial IF statement constitutes a "nested IF statement." Nesting statements is much like specifying subordinate arithmetic expressions enclosed in parentheses and combined in larger arithmetic expressions.’ Nested IF’s

7. IF A = B NEXT SENTENCE ELSE PERFORM D0-ARITHMETIC-CALCULATIONS END-IF. IF condition A = B is true then NEXT SENTENCE is executed and the ELSE phrase is ignored, and control passes to the statement following the END-IF.

8. The Class Test NUMERIC ALPHABETIC IF identifier IS [NOT]ALPHABETIC-UPPER ALPHABETIC-LOWER (a) Syntax 05 NUMERIC-FIELDPIC 9(5). 05 ALPHABETIC-FIELDPIC X(5).... IF NUMERIC-FIELD IS NUMERIC PERFORM D0-ARITHMETIC-CALCULATIONS END-IF. IF NUMERIC-FIELD IS NOT NUMERIC DISPLAY ‘ERROR - NUMERIC FIELD CONTAINS INVALID DATA’ END-IF. IF ALPHABETIC-FIELD IS ALPHABETIC DISPLAY ‘ALPHABETIC FIELD CONTAINS UPPER AND/OR LOWER CASE LETTERS’ END-IF. IF ALPHABETIC-FIELD IS NOTALPHABETIC DISPLAY ‘ERROR - ALPHABETIC FIELD CONTAINS NON-ALPHABETIC DATA’ END-IF. (b) Examples
