%SWITCH with the IF command

On the If (IF) command, %SWITCH can be specified on the COND parameter as the logical expression to be tested.

In the following example, 0X111XX0 is compared to the predetermined job switch setting:

IF  COND(%SWITCH(0X111XX0))  THEN(GOTO C)

If job switches 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8 contain 0, 1, 1, 1, and 0, respectively, the result is true and the procedure branches to the command having the label C. If one or more of the switches tested do not have the values indicated in the mask, the result is false, and the branch does not occur.

In the following example, switches control conditional processing in two procedures.

SBMJOB  JOB(APP502) JOBD(PAYROLL) CMD(CALL APP502)
    SWS(11000000)
 
PGM  /* CONTROL */
IF (%SWITCH(11XXXXXX)) CALLPRC PROCA
IF (%SWITCH(10XXXXXX)) CALLPRC PROCB
IF (%SWITCH(01XXXXXX)) CALLPRC PROCC
IF (%SWITCH(00XXXXXX)) CALLPRC PROCD
ENDPGM
 
PGM  /* PROCA */
CALLPRC TRANS
IF (%SWITCH(1XXXXXXX)) CALLPRC CUS520
ELSE CALLPRC CUS521
ENDPGM
