Does the condition relate to your data (where=(var=value)) or to external info (like date of run) ?

You can use next skiltom:

%macro(choose);
     data _null_;
       set any_data;
             if <condition> 
                then call symput('flag',1);
                else call symput('flag',0);
     run;
     
     %if &flag = 1 %then do;
           <program 1>
     %end; %else %do;
          <program 2>
      %end;
%mend;
%choose;

Can you show what type of code you are expecting to do this for?

Within a data step is one thing but if you need to do this with multiple procs and such that is another set of potential headaches.

other code

I am not sure what "either of 1" means in this context. And what is "whole code"? Examples go a long way to clarifying questions.
