I'm going to say no - what is being tested, then, is a numeric or alpha
constant, not an expression in the usual sense.
So let's say my_field = 15 - your CASE becomes
CASE 15 WHEN .... END
Even if this WOULD run, the only time it is true is when one of your
test values is 15.
It does appear that it COULD run - I just tried this in STRSQL -
select case 15 when 12 then 12 when 15 then 2 else 0 end from
sysibm/sysdummy1
It displays the number 2.
You probably want something like
CASE SOMEFIELD WHEN :my_field THEN some_value ELSE DEFAULT_VALUE END

All,
Is there a way to use a host variable in a CASE statement as the field to
be tested?
ie: CASE :my_field WHEN .... END
Would that work?
