In general spaces should not be used in the conditional part of the macro, as the spaces are treated literally.

Examples:

Condition	Operand2
{${name}:=:PAUL;...	"PAUL"
{${name}:=: PAUL;...	" PAUL"

The operands may be numeric or string type. If both operands are numeric then the comparison will be numeric (where applicable), otherwise a string comparison is performed.

Operators:

Operator	Action
=	Equal
!=	Not Equal
>	Greater Than
>=	Greater Than/Equal
<	Less Than
<=	Less Than/Equal
~	Regular Expression Match
!~	Not Regular Expression Match

Examples:

Value of ${amount}	Macro	Replaced with
112.02	{${amount}:>:0;Credit;Debit}	Credit
-56.47	{${amount}:>:0;Credit;Debit}	Debit

Value of ${agree}	Macro	Replaced with
Y	{${agree}:=:Y;agreed;turned down}	agreed
N	{${agree}:=:Y;agreed;turned down}	turned down

Value of ${type}	Macro	Replaced with
A	{ABC:~:${type};<insert paragraph1>;<!>}	<insert paragraph1>
E	{ABC:~:${type};<insert paragraph1>;<!>}	<!>

Conditional macros can be nested. The operands and the values can themselves be macros. Any part of a macro, including the operator, can be a variable data value.

Examples:

Macro

{${amount}:>:{${type}:=:A;150;500};Limit Exceeded;;}

{${value1}:${test}:${value2};True;False}

It is possible to perform AND/OR comparisons by nesting conditional macros.

In the examples operand1:operator:operand2 is, for the purpose of clarity, replaced by condition.

The result of the following is true if both condition1 AND condition2 are true.

{condition1;{condition2;true;false};false}

The result of the following is true if either condition1 OR condition2 is true.

{condition1;true;{condition2;true;false}}

More complex calculations can be performed by nesting calculation macros. The braces in the macros are equivalent to brackets.

Examples:

Calculation	Macro
10/(3+2)	{10:/:{3:+:2}}
(amount/100) * percent	{{${amount}:/:100}:*:${percent}}
