CASE, WHEN - obsolete

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Obsolete Syntax

CASE ...
  statements
  WHEN ...
    ...
ENDCASE.

Effect

The statements statements between CASE and the first statement WHEN work in the same way as when they are specified directly in front of CASE. This construct is not allowed in classes and produces a syntax warning outside of classes. The statements must be placed in front of CASE.
