    How do I declare a boolean variable in cobol?

    I'm trying to do this:

     05 BoolVar pic x(01).

     ...

     if BoolVar
        ...

    I'm in this situation: I have some known working (on Net Express) code
    (which I obviously didn't write), but one of the copybooks is gone ...
    I have the if statement, but not the variable declaration. So I know
    this can be done (at least on Net Express).
