Is there an operator similar to VB: Select Case ?

headley27 · 2006-10-13

Instead of writing nested IF statements, is there another C/AL operator similar to Visual Basic's 'Select Case' that I can use?

Thank you very much.

i:=1;
CASE i OF
  1: MESSAGE('one');

  2: BEGIN
        MESSAGE('two');
      END;
END;  //does not allow ELSE

i:=1; 
CASE i OF 
  1: MESSAGE('one'); 

  2: BEGIN 
        MESSAGE('two'); 
      END; 
END;  //does not allow ELSE

NOT true!

 i := 3;
CASE i OF
  1 : MESSAGE('One');
  2 : MESSAGE('Two');
  ELSE 
    MESSAGE ('NotFound');
END// ELSE

Or also something more complicated:

CASE TRUE OF
  SomeVariableA = SomeOtherVariableA: BEGIN
    ...
  END;
  SomeVariable IN ['A','a','@']: BEGIN
    ...
  END;
  SomeVariableB = SomeOtherVariableB: BEGIN
    ...
  END;
  ELSE BEGIN
    ...
  END;
END;
