IF-THEN-WAIT

Make a decision as to whether the job should go into a wait state.

Usage: Resource list

If the expression evaluates to true then the job waits and no other resource statements are evaluated. The entire resource list will be re-evaluated from the beginning at a later time. If the expression evaluates to false than the statement is ignored and the next statement is evaluated.

The operator FILE_NOT_FOUND can be used in any IF-THEN statement. It tests for the presence of one or more files and evaluates to true if the file is not present. The file name specification can include wildcards.

Format
