end if
If condition evaluates to True, the succeeding block of action lines up until the first occurrence of an else, else if, or end if, is executed. If False, that block is skipped.
This action ignores letter case for values of True and False, and is unaffected by the current state of the case sensitive built-in setting.
It is acceptable to use numeric expressions in the condition argument. TestArchitect treats the value 0 as False, and 1 as True. Note that an error is generated for any other numeric value.
The following operators may be used within an expression in the condition argument:
Table 1. Comparison operatorsPrecedence Comparison operator Meaning 4 = equal to 4 <> not equal to 4 > greater than 4 >= greater than or equal to 4 < less than 4 <= less than or equal to
Table 2. Logical operatorsPrecedence Logical operator Meaning 5 not Value is TRUE if its operand is FALSE. 6 and Value is TRUE if and only if both sides of the and operator are TRUE. 7 or Value is TRUE if either side of the or operator is TRUE.
