CASE ELSE

See SELECT CASE.

CASE ELSE is used in a SELECT CASE procedure as an alternative if no other CASE statements are true.

Description

• CASE ELSE should be listed at the bottom of the case list as it will supersede any case statements after it.
• Use it as a "safety net" or as an alternative for all values not covered in the CASE statements.

Example(s)

a = 100
SELECT CASE a
CASE IS < 99: PRINT "a is < 99"
CASE 99: PRINT "a is 99"
CASE IS > 100: PRINT "a is > 100"
CASE ELSE
PRINT "a is 100"
END SELECT

a is 100

a = 100
SELECT CASE a
CASE 10: PRINT "a is 10"
CASE 20: PRINT "a is 20"
CASE 30: PRINT "a is 30"
CASE ELSE: PRINT "a is something other than 10, 20 and 30"
END SELECT

a is something other than 10, 20 and 30
