Bernie, SWITCH nested within SWITCH is a nice way to reduce the otherwise necessary and confusing nested IF/ENDIF statements to deal with certain logical problems, and works just fine if properly constructed. Be careful, though, to not GOTO out of it (set a variable for a label, use BREAK, then GOTO &vlabel), and do not RUN or CALL anything within it. Calls to stored procedures are fine.

But I am still curious about switch within switch, should it work? has anyone used that technique?
