The IF directive begins an IF-ELSE-ENDIF construct
that is used for conditional program assembly. The specified
expression is evaluated and, if the value is non-zero (TRUE),
the code inside the IF block is assembled. If the expression
is zero (FALSE), the IF block is not assembled and subsequent
blocks of the construct are evaluated.
IF blocks are terminated by an ELSEIF, ELSE,
or ENDIF directive.
IF-ELSE-ENDIF blocks may be nested up to 10 deep.
Note
The specified expression may contain only those symbols
defined using the SET and RESET directives. Symbols
defined with the EQU and
SET statements may not be used
with the IF directive.
Do not confuse the IF directive with the
IF
statement. They are not
equivalent and they may not be used with the same symbols.
This directive may not be specified on the command line. It
must be specified in a source file.
