RE: consider the following progrm statements MOVE...

The answer is d
if we ignore the spelling mistakes
now perform pri-out until sw 1; while reading the in-file its automatically adding one to the subscript.
so the new value of sw 1 and then the loop stops.

i think the prob is with the logic

Answer should be D. Syntax error because only hifens are allowed to name a field in COBOL.
