Re: How to read and or statement

And MUCH nicer than :

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

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;
