Chapter 10 459
SELECT CASE
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.

For an example of the SELECT CASE statement, see “CASE” on page 293.
