TEST
Description
- Compares the input string with a specified value and jumps if the test evaluation is true.
- If the keyword
CASE or NOCASE is specified, a character comparison is performed. Otherwise an integer comparison of up to five digits is performed.
- If the test evaluation is true, processing continues with the command at the specified label. If a
CALL jump is specified, processing resumes at the next line in the Prompt Rules table once control is returned.
- If the test evaluation is false or no label is specified, processing continues directly to the next line unless the
EXIT keyword is used. In this case, processing resumes at the line following the command which called this one.
