Condition-names are tested procedurally in condition-name conditions (see Conditional Expressions).
If the associated conditional variable is a DBCS data item, all the literals specified for the THROUGH phrase must be DBCS literals (or the figurative constants SPACE, SPACES). The range of DBCS literals specified for the THROUGH phrase is based on the binary collating sequence of the hexadecimal values of the DBCS characters.
If the associated conditional
variable is a national data item, all the literals specified for the
THROUGH phrase must be non-numeric literals, national literals (or
the figurative constants SPACE, SPACES). The range of the literals
specified for the THROUGH phrase is based on the binary collating
sequence of the hexadecimal values of the national characters.
