The IF Statement
IF X =5.
WRITE :/ The value of X is 5.
ELSEIF X =6.
WRITE :/ The value of X is 6.
ELSE .
WRITE :/ X is neither 5 nor 6.

Logical Operators
AND
OR
NOT
The hierarchy of the logical
operators is: NOT, AND and
then OR. (i.e. different from
creating views)

The WHILE Loop
If expression evaluates
to TRUE, code in loop is
executed.
16
Control Statements |
If expression evaluates to
FALSE, code in loop is NOT
executed, and control moves
to after ENDWHILE.

Summary
Logical expressions are constructed using relational, logical, and string
comparison operators.
The CASE statement is used to distinguish between mutually exclusive options.
A DO loop is used to unconditionally execute a block of code multiple times.
WHILE loop conditionally executes a block of code, possibly multiple times.
The CHECK statement is used to test a logical expression
The EXIT statement unconditionally terminates a loop, subroutine, or program.
The CONTINUE statement is used inside a loop.
