Description
If the calculation result is any number except zero, the calculation evaluates to True and the
subsequent script steps are executed. If the calculation result is zero, no data, or does not resolve
into a number, then the calculation evaluates to False and the subsequent script steps are not
executed.
Every If step must have a corresponding End If script step somewhere after the If step and at the
same indentation. Whenever you use an If script step, the Manage Scripts feature automatically
enters an End If step.
You can also add additional conditions by using the Else If script step and Else script step.
Note If you do not specify a calculation or if the calculation is unsuccessful, it will evaluate as False.
Use the
Get(LastError) function to capture these errors.
