Oooooh - you've started something now! Before long we'll have full-on
war over DoW vs. DoU!! <grin>
There is no difference between the two constructs, John. SELECT
pre-dates ELSEIF. Which you use is purely personal taste. I suspect the
ELSEIF was added later to recognise that many programmers coming to the
IBM i platform (and RPG IV) were more familiar with
IF/ELSEIF/ELSE/ENDIF. Barbara Morris may be able to provide a little
more insight.

Hi,
Could anybody shed some light on when to use IF..ELSEIF and SELECT.
Seems to me that the semantics of SELECT is exactly the same as IF..ELSEIF.
SELECT just takes one line more (the SELECT).
