switch Function

first argument - any XPRESS expression

second arguments - series of <case> elements

The first argument is evaluated and compared against each of the <case> elements until a match is found. The <switch> function evaluates to the first <case> for which there is a match. If no match is found, the <switch> evaluates to the <case> element where default=’true’.

Example

The following expression returns apples.

<switch>
   <s>A</s>
   <case default=’true’>
      <s>unknown</s>
   </case>
   <case>
      <s>A</s>
      <s>apples</s>
   </case>
   <case>
      <s>B</s>
      <s>oranges</s>
   </case>
</switch>
