an HP question...

I tried WHILE 1, For J FROM 1 TO 2 DO and REPEAT...UNTIL 1, and they are all slower than CASE.

Even eliminating the inner loop altogether and using CONTINUE, CASE is still faster as the CONTINUE evaluation slows it enough to be slower than the CASE statement.

So, yeah, I'm good with CASE now :-)
