Re: IF..ELSEIF vs SELECT (Ake Olsson)

I definitely prefer SELECT-WHEN every time for two reasons:
1. If you have a group of mutually exclusive cases and need to change the
program at some point it is much easier to do this with a select clause.

2. Readability! Only one opening statement and one closing (endsl) for the
whole thing.

- When coding anything: Code for the person that will need to maintain this
ten years from now. It may be yourself -
