Action |
Conditionally runs statements.
Syntax |
IF expression
statement1
....
[ELSE
statement2
.... ]
ENDIF
Remarks |
The body of an IF statement is executed selectively depending on the value of the expression. If expression is true, then statement1 is executed. If expression is false and the ELSE clause is specified, then statement2 is executed.
IF statements can be nested as many times as memory allows.
If the expression does not contain any relational operators, the condition is considered to be true if it is numeric and it evaluates to a value other than zero, or if it is alphanumeric and it evaluates to a string containing at least one character.
Note that by default, all string comparisons are made case-insensitive. This behavior can be changed using the SetOption function. Please see the description of the SetOption function for full details.
