Case statement

Case statement

I know I can do nested if statements, but that gets really cumbersome
with anything that's halfway complicated. I've never seen it, but does
anybody know if some kind of case statement can be done in relations?

Instead of

If case1
A
Else
if case2
B
else
if case3
C
else
D
endif
Endif
Endif

How about

Case case1
do A
Case case2
do B
Case case3
do C
Otherwise
do D
Endcase

It's a lot simpler to deal with and makes it much easier to handle
complicated situations. Nesting more than two or three if statements
gets to be a nightmare.

Anybody?

I have encountered this same issue several times. As far as I know there
is no "case" statement and also no "else if" for the existing "if".

Or if the "if" statement had an "else if" you could do
if case1
A
else if case2
B
else if case 3
C
endif

A "case" statement would be nice.

I totally agree.
