condition-name
Must be defined in the special-names paragraph as associated with the on or off value of an UPSI switch. (See SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph.)

The switch-status condition tests the value associated with condition-name. (The value is considered to be alphanumeric.) The result of the test is true if the UPSI switch is set to the value (0 or 1) corresponding to condition-name. For details, see UPSI in the COBOL for AIX Programming Guide.
