Select case end¶

Description¶

This statement should be used to open a comparison of ONE variable against a number of constant values. The END statement is used to terminate the statement.

Syntax¶

Select Case <Expression>
    Case <Constant>
        <Statements>
    Break
    Case <Constant> [,<Constant> [, <Constant>]]
        <Statements>
    Break
End

Sample¶

Dim iVal
Let iVal = 0

Select Case iVal
    Case -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
        Select Case iVal
            Case 1
                Return "ONE"
            Break
            Case 2
                Return "TWO"
            Break
        End
        Return "ZERO or below ZERO"
    Break
    Case 3, 4, 5, 6
        Return "between THREE and SIX inclusive"
    Break
    Case 8, 9, 10
        Return "Between EIGHT and TEN inclusive"
    Break
    Case Else
        Return "something else"
    Break
End

Notes¶

The constant values should only appear once; if they appear multiple times, the first comparison wins.
