CAS 6

---

if

- Logical

Summary

Returns one value if a condition is true and another value if it is false.

Description

Note: CAS comes with many functions that make complex if-then logic unnecessary.

For example, to make sure a calculation result is non negative use: 0 max AMOUNT1-AMOUNT2 instead of :if (0 < AMOUNT1-AMOUNT2)(AMOUNT1-AMOUNT2)(0)

Examples

if (ORIGINATOR in 'BANKA') (ORIGDATE mplus 360) (MATURITY)
if (MARGIN gt 0) ('A') ('F')
