Purpose
Compiler directives to allow inclusion or exclusion of source code based on a condition
Syntax
#IF <expN1> | <expL1>
<statements1>
[#ELIF <expN2> | <expL2>
<statements2>...
#ELIF <expNN> | <expLN>
<statementsN>]
[#ELSE
<statements_else>]
#ENDIF

Description
The #IF compiler directive can be used to allow inclusion or exclusion of source code based on a condition. The condition can be a numeric expression, <expN1>, or any valid expression evaluating to a logical true (.T.) or false (.F.), <expL1>, and is evaluated at compile time. If the <expL1> evaluates to true or the <expN1> evaluates to a nonzero value, the <statements1> that follow are included in the compiled program file and the compilation continues after the #ENDIF. The <statements1> can be any valid Recital 4GL commands. If the <expL1> evaluates to false or the <expN1> evaluates to zero, the <statements1> are excluded and any included #ELIF directives are evaluated in turn in a similar way. If a #ELIF condition evaluates to a non-zero value or to true, the statements that immediately follow are included in the compiled program file and the compilation continues after the #ENDIF. If no #ELIF directives are specified, or if they all evaluate to zero or to false, a check is made for a #ELSE directive and its <statements_else> included in the compiled file if it exists.
This directive can only be used in compiled programs.
Example
#IF OS() = "Windows Servers" dirterm = "\" #ELIF OS() = "Linux Servers" dirterm = "/" set filecase on #ELIF OS() = "OpenVMS Servers" dirterm = "]" #ELSE dirterm = "/" set filecase on #ENDIF
Products
