The case statement has a huge advantage in what really matters... human 
readability... that is the point.

An irony is that while the "if" statement...  is the cornerstone of all 
computing... the "if" is also a problematic and mostly obsolete construct.

Subject: [U2] Case Statement with only two cases


Is there a point in code like this

BEGIN CASE
   CASE A = "TEST"; GOSUB DO.SOMETHING
   CASE 1; GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.ELSE
END CASE

versus this

IF A = "TEST" THEN GOSUB DO.SOMETHING ELSE GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.ELSE

Personally I see no advantage in making this a  CASE

Does the rest of the *Universe* agree with me?
