The following example shows how you can set a switch off by coding a MOVE statement that moves a value to a level-88 item.
For example, you can use a data item called SWITCH-OFF to set an on-off switch to off, as in the following code, which resets a switch to indicate that end-of-file has not been reached:
01 Switches
05 Transaction-EOF-Switch Pic X Value space.
88 Transaction-EOF Value “y”.
01 SWITCH-OFF Pic X Value “n”.
