VMS Help DEFINE, /KEY, Qualifiers, /IF_STATE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /IF_STATE=(state-name,...)
       /NOIF_STATE

    Specifies a list of one or more states, one of which must be in
    effect for the key definition to work. The /NOIF_STATE qualifier
    has the same meaning as /IF_STATE=current_state. The state name
    is an alphanumeric string. States are established with the /SET_
    STATE qualifier or the SET KEY command. If you specify only one
    state name, you can omit the parentheses. By including several
    state names, you can define a key to have the same function in
    all the specified states.
