You tell us what exactly you want to know, manuals say this about SET used in COBOL:
The SET statement is used to perform one of the following operations:
- Placing values associated with table elements into indexes associated with index-names
- Incrementing or decrementing an occurrence number
- Setting the status of an external switch to ON or OFF
- Moving data to condition names to make conditions true
- Setting USAGE IS POINTER data items to a data address
- Setting USAGE IS PROCEDURE-POINTER data items to an entry address
- Setting USAGE OBJECT REFERENCE data items to refer to an object
