54. Problem ANNAME is a 20 character field in the file, ANMPF that stores an animal name. ANMPF is a Physical file that contains a record for each of animals clients at the Seneca Vet Clinic. You are required to write a COBOL program that selects all of the animals listed in ANMPF that start with a C. What COBOL statement would select all of the animals names that start with the letter ‘C’.
