TUTORIAL
IF/ELSE Structure
The IF/ELSE statement is used to execute an instruction or a block of instructions one time if a condi-
tion is true and a different instruction or block of instructions if the condition is false. The simplified
syntax for the IF/ELSE instruction is:
IF condition
{
… conditional statements
}
ELSE
{
… conditional statements
}
Refer to Part 5 • Language Reference for more detailed information. The following flowchart and code
segment illustrate the use of the IF/ELSE instruction.
WAIT Statement
The WAIT statement is used to suspend program execution until a condition is true. The simplified syn-
tax for the WAIT statement is:
WA IT condition
Refer to Part 5 • Language Reference for more detailed information.
ON Structure
The ON instruction is used for multiple dimensional branching. The program can branch to as many dif-
ferent labels as required based on the value of a variable. Refer to Part 5 • Language Reference for more
detailed information.
