6.2.19.1 END-IF Phrase
This explicit scope terminator serves to delimit the scope of the IF statement. END-IF permits a conditional IF statement to be nested in another conditional statement. For more information on explicit scope terminators, see "Delimited Scope Statements" in topic 6.1.7.3.
The scope of an IF statement can be terminated by any of the following:
- An END-IF phrase at the same level of nesting
- A separator period
- If nested, by an ELSE phrase associated with an IF statement at a higher level of nesting
