VMS Help DSR, DSR Commands, Conditional Commands  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The .IF, .IF NOT, .ELSE, and .ENDIF commands (also known as
    the conditional commands) cause portions of a DSR file to be
    processed or not processed, according to conditions that you
    specify. The commands refer to the /VARIANT qualifier that you
    specify on the DSR command line. (See also /DEBUG=CONDITIONALS
    and .VARIABLE.)

    Formats
