Example 2: IF, ELSE, and ENDIF - FastExport

In the following example, the user has created the table named &TABLE and a variable named CREATERC, into which is set the system return code resulting from the execution of the CREATE TABLE statement: .SET CREATERC TO &SYSRC;

.SET CREATERC TO &SYSRC;
.IF &CREATERC = 3803 /* Table &TABLE exists */ THEN;
.RUN FILE RUN01;
.ELSE;
.IF &CREATERC <> 0 THEN;
.LOGOFF &CREATRC;
.ENDIF;
.ENDIF:

If the table name has not already been used, and the return code is not zero, the return code evaluates to an error condition and the job logs off with the error code displayed.
