I believe that when a "when" is met, that "when" group runs, and processing
goes to the EndSL.

Subject: Other What?

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.
