Using the Three Types of Clauses
This topic lists the keywords that are available in the three types of custom statement clauses:
Operation
Boolean
Function
The following table lists the available keywords and their descriptions as they appear when you prompt for a keyword:
|
Keyword |
Description |
|---|---|
|
// |
Comment |
|
ELSE |
Else - used for an operation |
|
ELSEIF |
ELSEIF - boolean statement |
|
IF |
IF - boolean condition |
|
IN |
IN - function |
|
MAX |
Maximum function |
|
MIN |
Minimum function |
|
THEN |
THEN - used in an operation |
Notice that the description for each keyword includes the associated clause type. The comment is the one keyword that is not associated with a type. The system ignores comment clauses when resolving a custom statement. You can use them for any incidental information that you want displayed online, but ignored in processing.
Note: You do not see comments in the equation at the bottom of the Custom Statement page.
