IF Statement Syntax (AREV Specific)

Okay,

Silly IF statement syntax question here. I've looked in the books and can't find anything about it.

Does AREV support the IF … ELSE IF "step ladder" construction like C++ and VB do?

For example

IF condition then

*do something

ELSE IF condition2 then

*do something else

ELSE IF condition3 then

.

.

.

END

Thanks,

IF…THEN…ELSE format would be:

IF …. THEN 

ACTION1

END ELSE 

IF .... THEN
  ACTION2  (or another nested IF..THEN..ELSE, ad nauseum)
END ELSE
  ACTION3
END

END

I don't know of limits on nesting IF..THEN..ELSE statements in RBasic.

Beyond two levels I move to CASE or ON GOSUB routines to speed things up.

Hope this helps.

What you describe is effectively a CASE statement.
