Problem

Symptoms: The customer has two very large macros where the variables are not working in a {CASE} statement. When using {VARIABLE} commands in a {CASE} statement, the {CASE} statement does not refer control of the macro to the labels when a match occurs. For example, here is a sample of one of the {CASE} commands: {CASE}{VARIABLE}a~~{VARIABLE}b~~dog~{VARIABLE}c~~cat~~ Solutions: This is a limitation of the {CASE} command. The work around would be to use {IF} commands instead.
