IF … THEN … ELSE … ENDIF

This command, logic control statement, executes a true statement block if the condition is evaluated to true, else execute a false statement block.

The condition can be a single expression, or a relational condition consisting of a left-hand expression, a relational operator and a right-hand expression. All expressions in the conditions are evaluated as arithmetic expressions, with a fall-back to text evaluation. See Evaluation of expression for more details.

Single expression conditions

The condition is a single expression (arithmetic or text). For the condition to evaluate to true, the expression must be one of the following:

An arithmetic expression and evaluate to a number greater than zero.
A text expression and evaluate to the word true (any letter case can be used).

Relational conditions

The format of the relational condition:

<left expression> <conditional operator> <right expression>

The left expression and right expression are evaluated as arithmetic expressions (with possible fall-back to text-based evaluation).

The expressions are compared using the conditional operator after the evaluation. If both expressions evaluate to a number, then arithmetic comparison is used. If one or both expressions evaluate to a text value, or if a text relational operator is used, the text-based comparison is used.

Conditional operators in relational conditions

These arithmetic operators are used in relational conditions:

Equals: =
Examples: 1 = 2 evaluates the condition to false, 2 = 2.0 evaluates to true.
Not Equals: !=or <>
Example: 1 != 2 evaluates to true, 2 != 1 + 1 evaluates to false.
Greater than: >
Examples: 2 > 2 evaluates to false, 2 > $var, with $var=1.0 evaluates to true
Greater than or equal: >=
Examples: 2 >= 2 evaluates to true, 2 >= 1.0 evaluates to false
Less than: <
Examples: 2 < 2 evaluates to false, 1 < 2 evaluates to true.
Less than or equal: <=
Examples: 2 <= 2 evaluates to true, 1 <= 2 evaluates to true

These text operators are used in relational conditions:

Equals: =
Examples: ABCD=ABCD or ABCD=aBcD evaluates to true. A = B evaluates to false.
Not Equals: !=or <>
Example: ABCD!=ABCD or abcd<>ABCD evaluates to false. A != B evaluates to true.
Greater than: >
Examples: A > B evaluates to false, Bc > aB evaluates to true, B > A evaluates to true, A > A evaluates to false.
Greater than or equal: >=
Examples: ABCD >= ABCD evaluates to true, ABCD >= BC evaluates to false.
Less than: <
Examples: ABCD < bCDE evaluates to true, ABCD < BC evaluates to true, B < A evaluates to false, A < A evaluates to false.
Less than or equal: <=
Examples: Examples: ABCD <= AbCD evaluates to true, ABCD <= BC evaluates to true.
Contains: ~ (a portion of the left expression matches the right expression)
Examples: ABCD ~ bc evaluates to true, ABCD ~ something else evaluates to false.
Does not contain: !~
Examples: 12 !~ A evaluates to true, ABCD ~ something else evaluates to false.

Note:

Comparisons performed by text operators are based on the lexicographical order of the compared values.
The comparisons are case-insensitive.

These are the examples of ‘IF … THEN … ELSE … ENDIF’ command:

Echo “Yes”

$variable = 11;
IF $variable > 10 THEN Echo: Yes;
END IF;

Echo = No

$variable = 1;
IF $variable > 10 THEN Echo: Yes;
ELSE Echo: No;
END IF;

Conditionally execute multiple commands (run another workflow and an optimization):

$execute = 1;
IF $execute = 1 THEN 
Workflow: another workflow;
Solve: Optimization 1;
END IF;
