# if-association

<if-association> performs a test on the association value of current operation or the current object. The type of test performed depends on the operator specified by the op attribute. The following table shows the type of test performed by each operator.

> operator | Returns true when...
> --- | ---
> associated | there is an established association for the current object.
> available | there is a non-empty association value specified by the current operation.
> equal | the association value specified by the current operation is equal to the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode. Supports variable expansion.
> lt | the association value specified by the current operation is less than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode. Supports variable expansion.
> gt | the association value specified by the current operation is greater than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode. Supports variable expansion.
> not-associated | associated would return false.
> not-available | available would return false.
> not-equal | equal would return false.
> not-lt | lt would return false.
> not-gt | gt would return false.
