subject: Flow control in REXX

Greetings from Puget Sound ANDREW:

On 04-12-1995 you stated to ALL regarding 'Flow control in REXX'

AC> Does REXX have an equivalent of C's switch/case or Pascal's case staements?

You betcha.  It's the SELECT statement.
From the OS/2 Procedures Language 2/REXX reference manual is the following.

Select
   when balance > 0 then
            say 'blah blah blah
   when balance = then do
            say 'blah blah blah'
            say 'blah blah blah'
            end
   otherwise
            say 'blah blah blah'
            say 'blah blah blah'
            say 'blah blah blah'
end

George
