Conditional Input

Requests passed from a batch statement can be conditional, using the following syntax:

IF LASTCC condition number THEN 

      statement_1

      statement_2

      statement_3

      .....

ELSE

      statement_4

      statement_5

      statement_6

      .....

ENDIF

where

• LASTCC is the condition code returned by the last executed request
• condition is either EQ (Equal) or NE (Not Equal)
• number is a numeric value from 1 through 3 digits, for example 4, 04, or 004

Tokens in the IF statement must be separated by blanks. Nested IF statements are not supported. The whole IF statement must reside in the same input record.

ELSE and its group of statements are optional. If used, it must be the only token in a record.

ENDIF must be the only token in a record.

Example

COND CHECK CONDITION_A 0104

IF LASTCC EQ 8 THEN

     COND ADD CONDITION_A 0104

ELSE

     COND ADD CONDITION_B 0104

     MAIL TO USER1

     MAIL TEXT CONDITION_B ADDED

     MAIL SEND

ENDIF
