awk 'BEGIN {if(condition) outcome}' # if
awk 'BEGIN {if(condition_1) outcome_1; else outcome_2}' # if else
awk 'BEGIN {if(condition_1) outcome_1; else if(condition_2) outcome_2}' # if else if

# Example usage:
awk 'BEGIN {if(2>3) print "1_is_true"; else print 6}'
--> 6

eg : 
ls -ltrd p_390.q_50 | awk '{split($9,a,"."); split(a[1],b,"_"); if(b[2]>360) c=b[2]-360; print("z_"c"."a[2])}'
 ls -ltrd p_390.q_50 | awk ' {split($9,a,"."); split(a[1],b,"_"); if(b[2]>360) {c=b[2]-360; print("mv "$9" z_"c"."a[2])} else {print ("mv "$9" "a[1]"."a[2])} }'
gives you : 
mv p_390.q_50 p_30.q_50
