[ncl-talk] "elif" blocks

[Mary Haley]

Thomas,

Ekin pointed you to the place in the documentation that talks about the
lack of an "else if" type of command. It's mentioned in the third paragraph.

You can mimic it somewhat, by putting the "else" and the "if" on the same
line, but the caveat is that you need and "end if" for every "else if" that
you introduce:

   if (*scalar_logical_expression*) then
       *statement list*
   else if (*scalar_logical_expression*) then
       statement list
   else if (*scalar_logical_expression*) then
       *statement list*
   else
       *statement list*
   end if
   end if
   end if

We do not have immediate plans to add a formal "elif" type statement,
but we do have a ticket for it. The developers have told me this is
not a trivial request.

--Mary
