+!===-- test_target_update_if.F90 --------------------------------------------===//
+!
+! OpenMP API Version 4.5 Nov 2015
+!
+! The if clause determines if the section should be updated on  
+! the device. There are two scenarios to test here: 
+! (a) with offloading when 'if' clause evaluates to true then 
+! associated data is updated depending on the motion clause.
+! (b) with offloading when 'if' clause evaluates to false 
+! then there is no update
+! The if clause is evaluated on runtime which means that variables could
+! determine this behavior.
