condition-name-1
Must be associated with a conditional variable.

If more than one literal is specified in the VALUE clause of condition-name-1, its associated conditional variable is set equal to the first literal.

If multiple condition-names are specified, the results are the same as if a separate SET statement had been written for each condition-name in the same order in which they are specified in the SET statement.

If SET condition-name-1 TO FALSE is specified, there must be a corresponding WHEN SET TO FALSE phrase defined for condition-name-1.
