Description |
Compares two files and fails the step if the files are different. "If" is an extremely useful action. It allows decisions to be made during the execution of the Workflow depending on the result of an expression evaluation. Some examples of simple (although impractical) expressions are: as 1=1 (true). Or 1>2 (false). Of course the kinds of expressions more likely to be used in the "If" action are: city = "Los Angeles" or count = 100. If the result evaluates to TRUE, Automated Workflow will execute the block of steps immediately following the If action up until an End If is encountered, otherwise the block will be skipped (or if an Else <AMELSE> statement is encountered it will execute that block of steps). All If actions must be followed at some point with an End If <AMENDIF> to mark the end of the code block that is to be executed if the expression is true. |
