Optional Fields ELSEIF provides another set of commands to execute if another condition exists.
For example,
IF NAME == "JOHNSON"
INC JCOUNT
ELSEIF NAME == "SMITH"
INC SCOUNT
ENDIF

is (NAME equals Johnson). The second condition is (NAME equals SMITH).

command copies TASTATE to PASTATE. Otherwise, the second MOVE command
copies the string "Out of State" to PASTATE.
IF TASTATE == "OHIO"
MOVE TASTATE,PASTATE
ELSE
MOVE "Out of State",PASTATE
ENDIF
