Here are some helpful hints

Conditional Text: IF

You can use the IF control command to specify that text lines should be printed only when certain

conditions are met. If the logical expression contained within the IF command is true, then the

text lines enclosed by the IF... ENDIF command pair are printed. Otherwise they are ignored.

Syntax:

/: IF condition

/: ENDIF

The logical expression can use the following comparison operators:

= EQ equal to

< LT less than

> GT greater than

<= LE less than or equal to

>= GE greater than or equal to

<> NE not equal to

The following logical operators can be used to combine conditions:

NOT

AND

Evaluation of both the individual logical expressions and of the combinations of expressions is

performed strictly from left to right. There are no precedence rules. Bracketed expressions are

not supported.

The comparison is always performed on literal values, that is, the symbols are formatted as

character strings before they are compared. This is particularly significant in the case of program

symbols, because the formatting of these may depend on various parameters. For example, the

formatted form of a currency field employs a variable number of decimal places and a variable

‘decimal point’ symbol (a period or a comma) depending on the applicable currency key.

You can extend the IF command with the ELSE command to allow text lines to be specified that

you want to print in case the condition is false. If the condition is true, the text lines enclosed by

the IF and ELSE commands are formatted; otherwise the text lines enclosed by the ELSE and

ENDIF commands are formatted.

Syntax:

/: IF condition

/: ELSE

/: ENDIF

The ELSEIF command allows you to specify multiple cases.

Syntax:

/: IF condition

/: ELSEIF condition

/: ELSE

/: ENDIF

You can use any number of ELSEIF commands within one compound IF.. ENDIF control

command. The use of an ELSE command is then optional.

ALSO

Finding a Match: CASE

The CASE command covers a special case of the multiple case IF command. Rather than

allowing an arbitrary condition to be tested in each of the individual cases (as in the general

multiple case IF command), the CASE command allows a given symbol to be tested against

specific values until a matching value is found.

Syntax:

/: CASE symbol

/: WHEN value1

/: WHEN value2

/: WHEN valuen

/: WHEN OTHERS.

/: ENDCASE

The symbol in the CASE line is formatted. If its value is found in one of the WHEN lines, then the

text lines following this WHEN line are printed. If no matching value is found then the text lines

enclosed by the WHEN OTHERS line and the ENDCASE command are printed. The WHEN

OTHERS section is optional.

As with the IF command, the comparison is always performed on literal values.

Hope that helps!
