1. A method for operating a programmable control device (1) which has a memory (3) and a processor unit (7), where the memory (3) stores an evaluation routine (4) which can be executed by the processing unit (7) and, independently of said evaluation routine, an operand (34), a comparison operator (36) and a comparison value (37), where the operand (34), the comparison value (37) and the comparison operator (36) form a binary comparison operation (31) which delivers either a first or a second result and which have associated first and second actions (32, 33), and where executing the evaluation routine (4) involves evaluation of the binary comparison operation (31) and, on the basis of the result of the binary comparison operation (31), performance of either the first or the second action (32, 33).
