Your assumption is that VALUES and RANGE only allow for literals--not fields.
I wouldn't assume that myself.

Subject: RE: RPG, 10 years from now

Since WSU was a combination of RPG and Screen, don't we, in effect, have 
those opcodes?  Aren't they just segregated out to the screen now (DDS)?

VALUES might be useful for a limited selection like '0' or '1'.  However 
for anything more than that I'd be a little leery of the potential for 
over hard coding.  SQL gets around this with their IN statement
 IN(select code from codeTable)

Now, if a VALUES is to perform different actions then we're back to the 
elseif versus select argument again anyway.

Range or between would be pretty.
