No, you can't code any operators on a /IF directive.

Also, you might want to rethink what you're doing since I suspect
you're trying to do something that's not possible in RPG IV.  When
you code "/IF DEFINED(X)", for the condition to be considered true,
the name X is a name specified either in the DEFINE parameter on the
CRTRPGMOD/CRTBNDRPG command or on the /DEFINE directive.  It does
not refer to any names coded otherwise in the RPG program, and
cannot be used to condition code whether or not a specific variable
name is defined.

(Also, you can also code something like "/IF DEFINED(*V5R1M0)" to
conditionally compile code intended for the specified release or later.)
