I disagree....

Sometimes my path depends on seemingly unrelated things...

I want both forms to work.

I'd be willing to bet that if IBM ever adds the short form the long
form will still work! ;)

Which would no longer compile :-)

All I want now is to have a parameter to the SELECT
statement, which can be used in conjunction with each of the
WHEN statements to equate to a boolean true or false:

SELECT Customer.Type;
  WHEN 'A';
    ...
  WHEN 'B' or 'C' or 'D';
    ...
  WHEN 'E' or 'F';
    ...
  OTHER;
    ...
ENDSL;

which is much nicer (IMHO) than:

SELECT;
  WHEN Customer.Type = 'A';
    ...
  WHEN Customer.Type = 'B' or
       Customer.Type = 'C' or
       Customer.type = 'D';
    ...
  WHEN Customer.Type = 'E' or
       Customer.Type = 'F';
    ...
  OTHER;
    ...
ENDSL;
