**#?**//statement//

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **#?** | Defines a single line of source code generated only if #RELEASE commits the conditional source section. |
| //statement// | A single line of target language code. This may contain template symbols. |

The **#?** statement defines a single line of source code that is generated only if a #RELEASE statement is encountered. This allows empty unnecessary "boiler-plate" code to be easily removed from the generated source.

A #EMBED that contains source to generate performs an implied #RELEASE. Any generated source output also performs an implied #RELEASE. Therefore, an explicit #RELEASE statement is not always necessary. The #? statement defines an individual conditional source line that does not perform the implied #RELEASE. When a #RESUME is executed without the output to the file being released, any conditional lines of code are un-done back to the matching #SUSPEND.

**Example:**

**ACCEPT                        #!Unconditional source line**

**#SUSPEND**

** ****#?****CASE SELECTED()           #!Conditional source line**

**  #FOR(%ScreenField)**

**    #SUSPEND**

** ****#?****OF %ScreenField           #!Conditional source line**

**    #EMBED(%ScreenSetups,'Control selected code'),%ScreenField**

**    #RESUME**

** ****#?****END                       #!Conditional source line**

**#RESUME**

**#SUSPEND**

** ****#?****CASE EVENT()              #!Conditional source line**

**  #SUSPEND**

**  #?OF EVENT:AlertKey         #!Conditional source line**

**    #SUSPEND**

**   ****#?****CASE KEYCODE()          #!Conditional source line**

**      #FOR %HotKey**

**        #RELEASE**

**   ****#?****OF %HotKey              #!Conditional source line**

**      #EMBED(%HotKeyProc,'Hot Key code'),%HotKey**

**      #ENDFOR**

**   ****#?****END                     #!Conditional source line**

**    #RESUME**

** ****#?****END                       #!Conditional source line**

**#RESUME**

**END                           #!Unconditional source line**
