Statements

The if statement allows the conditional evaluation of one or more expressions, which, if it evaluates to true, will process the block of code within it.

An if statement, at a minimum, must contain three elements:

• an opening if statement
• a then statement preceding the expression for evaluation
• a closing endif statement.

Expressions within an if statement can include the following types:

• Constants
• Variables
• Attributes
• Personalization Strings
• Function Calls
