aspx_beginners thread: Using Select Case


Message #1 by "Jacobson, John" <jacobs35@c...> on Mon, 19 Feb 2001 15:46:05 -0500
Im trying to write some code to response write some information using a case

statement to allow for different depending on the critera for the origional

query.  how do i make the cases work if i need to do somthing like the

following:

Case 

""WO("pend")IS NOT NULL and WO("Outby")="Nobody"""

	Response.Write "<a href=/work/change.asp?ID=" & WO("ID") & ">" & "WO

#" & WO("ID") &"</a>" & "" & WO("Date") &"  	"& WO("Person") & "from" &

WO("Department") & "--This PENDING Work Order Needs To Be Completed" &""



Is this possible, and if so what should i be looking to call the case.  Or

should i be using IF Then statements?



the three other variations of the above  (Is NULL, or >< Nobody) are my

other cases.



thanks in advance



/john

The Select Case structure should be used when you want to check a single variable

for multiple values.  Your need is actually checking multiple variables (or

combinations of variables), so I would suggest using an If block for each variable

you want to check.  If, for each variable there are multiple options, then you can

have a series of cases, but each case should only check one variable.



hope this helps,



john
