ACCEPT FIRST-QUESTION

IF FIRST-QUESTION IS EQUAL TO 'S'
THEN DISPLAY 'STARTING...'
ELSE
DISPLAY 'HELPING...'
END-IF.

How do I make it so that if FIRST-QUESTION is not
a "S" or "H" it will say INVALID?

I try to do this...

ACCEPT FIRST-QUESTION

IF FIRST-QUESTION IS EQUAL TO 'S'
THEN DISPLAY 'STARTING...'
END-IF
IF FIRST-QUESTION IS EQUAL TO 'H'
THEN DISPLAY 'HELPING...'
END-IF
IF FIRST-QUESTION IS NOT EQUAL TO 'S' OR 'H'
THEN DISPLAY 'INVALID'
END-IF.

But tht dont work right. Because if you DO enter 'S' or 'H'
the output still comes out like this..

STARTING...
INVALID

INVALID shouldnt be there!!!
