■ ELSE

Format ELSE
Function This command specifies the beginning of the default command block that will be executed if none of the conditions in the preceding IF and/or ELIF commands is true. This is not an executable command.
Example IF-Command Structures:
Commands and Structures Description
IF <condition>
…
ENDIF		 Runs the command block between IF and ENDIF when the condition is true, otherwise ignores the command block.
IF <condition>
…
ELSE
…
ENDIF		 Runs the command block between IF and ELSE when the condition is true, otherwise runs the command block between ELSE and ENDIF.
IF <condition>
…
ELIF <condition_2>
…
ELIF <condition_3>
.
.
.
ELIF <condition_N>
…
ENDIF		 Runs the command block between IF and the first ELIF and ignores all the following commands in the structure when condition 1 is true, otherwise examines condition 2. Runs the command block between the first ELIF and the second ELIF and ignores all the following commands in the structure when condition 2 is true, otherwise checks condition 3. Repeats the same operation until condition N is processed. If none of the conditions are true, no command block in this structure is run.
IF <condition>
…
ELIF <condition_2>
…
ELIF <condition_3>
.
.
ELIF <condition_N>
…
ELSE
…
ENDIF		 Runs the command block between IF and the first ELIF and ignores all the following commands in the structure when condition 1 is true, otherwise examines condition 2. Runs the command block between the first ELIF and the second ELIF and ignores all the following commands in the structure when condition 2 is true, otherwise checks condition 3. Repeats the same operation until condition N is processed. Runs the command block between ELSE and ENDIF if none of the conditions are true.
Note that there can be up to 20 nested IF-command structures.

■ ENDIF

Format ENDIF
Function This command specifies the end of a command block, which begins at the command following the matching IF, ELIF, or ELSE command. This is not an executable command.
Example IF-Command Structures:
Commands and Structures Description
IF <condition>

Runs the command block between the first ELIF and the second ELIF and ignores all the following commands in the structure when condition 2 is true, otherwise checks condition 3. Repeats the same operation until condition N is processed. If none of the conditions are true, no command block in this structure is run.
