SWITCH Example

//
// The SWITCH statement is a replacement for the DO CASE statement
// The biggest difference is that the expression (in this case sDeveloper) is only evaluated once.
// which will have a performance benefit over the DO CASE statement
// Empty statement lists for a CASE are allowed. In that case the labels share the code (see CHRIS and NIKOS below)
//
// Please note that EXIT statements inside a switch are not allowed, however RETURN, LOOP and THROW are allowed.
