What is this 1]2 and <1,1> doing ? that is the correct syntax for a
multi-value locate statement, 1]2 is part of the multi-value array.
Why do I need this? That for you to work out.
What is this doing? The only valid value for the variable ANSWER are blank (no
value) or Y or N or 1 or 2. Where blank (no value) or Y or 1 equal to Yes the
problem codes are correct.
If you don’t like it change it, it's only software, just be sure to get the
right result.

In my 25 years in Pick I have never seen a construction like this to test for Y
or N or whatever it's doing.
What is this doing? What is this 1]2 and <1,1> doing ? Why do I need this?
0297: CHECK: PRINT @(0,17): "Are the problem codes correct (Y/N)? " :
0298: INPUT ANSWER
0299: LOCATE ANSWER IN '²Y²N²1²2'<1,1> SETTING TEST ELSE PRINT BELL
0300: LOCATE ANSWER IN '²Y²1'<1,1> SETTING TEST ELSE
0301: PRINT @(0,13):CLEAR.REST.SCREEN ; GOTO ENTER.PROBLEM.CODES
