Use the SELECT CASE BasicScript keywords to test variable values (numeric or alpha).

Syntax

SELECT CASE variable
CASE value [TO value][,value]
[CASE value [TO value][,value]]
[CASE ELSE]
END SELECT


variable: variable name to test in each CASE statement against. TeleFlow (including BasicScript) variables are preceded by a '@' character.
value: a numeric or alpha value to test variable the against.
Use the TO keyword to test value ranges in a CASE statement. The TO statement expects a numeric or a single letter string value. Use CASE ELSE to perform some operations if all preceding CASE failed.
