fcase is used occasionally in base library and addons.
eg.
select. Show >. {. y,0
fcase. 5 do.
initmisc''
inithier''
initflip''
initzoom''
initrange''
initcube''
fcase. 4 do.
if. GridVirtualMode > Hier do.
getdata'' return.
end.
fcase. 3 do.
initxywh ''
initaxes''
initdata''
initcell''
initheader''
initextents''
fcase. 2 do.
getfmt ''
getextent''
fcase. 1 do.
initsizes''
end.
5 executes all blocks while 1 executes only the last block.
your purposed pcase works if switch labels are duplicated which
is rare if not illegal.
