Begins CASE construct.
Syntax
[construct-name :] SELECT CASE (case-expr) |
- construct-name
is the name given to the CASE
construct.
- case-expr
is a scalar expression of type integer, character,
or logical.
Description
The SELECT CASE
statement, the first statement of a CASE
construct, causes case-expr to be evaluated,
resulting in the case index. The CASE
construct uses the case index to determine which of its statement
blocks to execute.
If construct-name is specified,
it must also appear in the END SELECT
statement.
