ELSE

Parameters

None.

Operation Notes

The ELSE command is used only in conjunction with the IF and ELSEIF commands. The IF command is used with the ENDIF command, and optionally with the ELSE command, to control the execution of a job. The IF, ENDIF, and optional ELSE commands constitute an IF block. A logical expression is evaluated, and if true, the IF block is executed; if false, the ELSE block (if one exists) is executed.

Use

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break has no effect on this command.

Example

The following job listing illustrates using the ELSE command:

 !CONTINUE
 !PASXL MYPROG,MYUSL
 !IF JCW>=FATAL THEN
 !  TELL USER.TECHPUBS;COMPILE FAILED
 !ELSEIF JCW>=WARN THEN
 !  TELL USER.TECHPUBS;COMPILE COMPLETED WITH WARNINGS
 !ELSE
 !  TELL USER.TECHPUBS;COMPILE COMPLETE WITH NO WARNINGS
 !ENDIF
