FieldNextIf class

Implements the NEXTIF field. To learn more, visit the Working with Fields documentation article.

Remarks

Compares the values designated by the expressions FieldNextIf.left_expression and FieldNextIf.right_expression in comparison using the operator designated by FieldNextIf.comparison_operator. If the comparison is true, the next data record is merged into the current merge document. (Merge fields that follow the NEXTIF in the main document are replaced by values from the next data record rather than the current data record.) If the comparison is false, the next data record is merged into a new merge document.
