RE: conditional compile

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Short answer is yes.

Here's the summary from the RPG Reference Manual:

_________________________________________
1.2.5 Conditional Compilation Directives




The conditional compilation directive statements allow you to conditionally
include or exclude sections of source code from the compile. 


Condition-names can be added or removed from a list of currently defined
conditions using the defining condition directives /DEFINE and /UNDEFINE. 


Condition expressions DEFINED(condition-name) and NOT
DEFINED(condition-name) are used within testing condition /IF groups. 


Testing condition directives, /IF, /ELSEIF, /ELSE and /ENDIF, control which
source lines are to be read by the compiler. 


The /EOF directive tells the compiler to ignore the rest of the source lines
in the current source member. 


Subtopics: 

1.2.5.1 Defining Conditions 
1.2.5.2 Condition Expressions 
1.2.5.3 Testing Conditions 
1.2.5.4 The /EOF Directive
