I get this warning, unexpected because the relational would seem to be equality rather than a difference...
905: Warning: Case expression value on line 903 takes precedence over this Case expression
for this code at line 903
| Code: | case "H"
call showHistoryEvents(TRUE)
case "h"
call showHistoryEvents(FALSE) |
the select variable is
| Code: | | select case (mid(s,1,1)) |
I recoded the switch to use asc() for the cases, eliminated the warning, but am curious.

| I suspect that the compiler is using a case-insensitive comparison to check for case duplication when it should be using case-sensitive. Your clever workaround has me puzzling, however. |

| Regarding your workaround, I see now why it works. That changes it from a String comparison to a Byte comparison. |
