Conditional exit

 
Is there a way to use the bincond operator, or some other way to do a conditional exit in Pig script? Say if the value of variable given to script is x then do this, but exit if it is y.
 
Thanks!

Pig Latin doesn't support conditional statements (such as if-else) if this is what you want. It has a SPLIT statement that allows multiple outputs.   

Thanks,
