The when prefix and suffix is used for creating a conditional clause which determines whether a statement or exit clause should be executed or not. It may be seen as a compact alternative to the full if..end if statement.
Syntax:
(when condition statement | exitstatement when condition )
The statement or the exitstatement will only be executed if condition is evaluated to True.
The when prefix may be used on statements which already have one or several other statements, including additional when or unless prefixes.
