9.6 Script control statements

Script control statements are used in job definition scripts.

A job definition script uses the results of conditional expressions in the control statements to determine the processing that is to be executed. You can specify any number of spaces or tab characters (including none) before the reserved words and processing instructions that constitute the control statements.
