475.0. "Another for the wishlist: <NOT_CONDITION>" by MIZPAH::ELKIND (Steve Elkind) Fri Jun 05 1987 15:18
When compiling sections of a document, I want to specify things like putting
the logo on each page, footers, etc., that are normally specified in the
root file.  To do this, the conditionals can be used - except, one must
use the conditional switch on the DCL command when compiling sections.
It would be much cleaner if Document had a negative conditional tag, e.g.,
<NOT_CONDITION>, which would start a segment which executes only if the
named condition has NOT been set.  This way the use of a command line switch
can be avoided.

| 475.1 | Improves IF THEN ELSE processing too | ATLAST::BOUKNIGHT | Everything has an outline | Mon Jun 08 1987 15:46 | 4 | 
|  |     This belongs with the wish for IF THEN ELSE control of conditional
    input so that one could say IF NOT condition THEN input ENDIF.
