Use the "ifboolean" command when you want to create a condition with multiple fields linked by ANDs and ORs.
The "ifboolean" syntax is:
%%
ifboolean
tablename.fieldname1 operand value1 AND/OR
tablename.fieldname2 operand value2 AND/OR
...
tablename.fieldnamex operand valuex
"content-if-true"
"content-if-false"
%%
If you mix ANDs and ORs, you will need to use parentheses to group expressions.
How it works: for each individual recipient, the command evaluates whether the entire condition statement is true. If the condition is true, the command prints content-if-true. If the condition is false, the command prints content-if-false.

Example 5
You want to send a special message to all northern California residents (designated by a range of zip codes) who have an interest in basket weaving. NOTE: if parentheses are used with quotes, a space must separate the parentheses and the quote.
%%
ifboolean

address.zip < 95000 ) AND
members_.interest = "basket weaving" )
"Special message!"

%%
Example 8

%%
ifcondition
address.state CA
<>
"Special message!"
