RE: Other What?

You are correct in your assumption, if the when's conditions are not met,
the
other clause will perform it's functions.

Must be Monday (okay, Tuesday) no one's awake, or maybe just too busy
getting the week started...?...

Question...

On a mixed SELECT-WHEN group, what does the OTHER clause consider?

i.e.

SELECT

WHEN Code = 'A'

WHEN Code = 'B'

WHEN Type = '1'

WHEN Type = '2'

OTHER
(does the other here select any condition that is not Code = 'A' or 'B' and
not Type '1' or '2' or...?)

ENDSL

next i.e.

SELECT

WHEN Code = 'A' And
             Type = '1'

WHEN Code = 'B' Or
             Type = '2'

OTHER
(don't have a clue as to what the other here will select...?)

ENDSL

Can't seem to find any clear definition of the OTHER rules in the manuals.
