CASE

The CASE command is part of SELECT...ENDSELECT construct. Each CASE represents a possible value of the expression. After each case, you can insert the statements that will be executed if the value of the expression matches that case. The code will be executed up to the ENDSELECT instruction, another CASE instruction and, finally, when a CASE ELSE is matched.
