I duplicated that, and also tried:

     if: Status eq "X"
   then: Status =  "W"

which failed the syntax check at the "=".

In another file I declared a variable named Status and it passed
the syntax check, and then changed that to dimensioning an array
named Status, which also passed the syntax check,

So "Status" doesn't appear to be a reserved word.
