Hi Will,
As I said, I don't use it myself, but a reason one might use
it is that one can easily cut and paste (or include) logic.
For example:
---
LOCKED
put
some
generic
logic
here
END

The case statement can be faster if you put the condition with the most
occurrences first. As soon as the 'true' condition is met, the program exits
the case statement. The if-then-else construct took longer to evaluate. When
processors were slow, there were gains to be had.

The case statement has a huge advantage in what really matters... human
readability... that is the point.
From readability follows... reliability, maintainability, and testability...
