Now, what actually this means : First of all “@#IIf” is mandatory to write to start the if condition, then open the brackets to check the condition; and then you have to write “#OrgFreightBy” that is compulsory to write,
Now if you want to compare the datatype of data write, “@{string}@ ^==^ ToPay{string}” here String is the datatype, and then, “^==^” use to compare the data, and “ToPay” is the mode of payment.
Now “#ToPayamount@” is use to write the amount paid by the customer.
Now again end it with “#OrgFreightBy@” and close the bracket to complete the if condition.
