Bernie, My editor hasn't had enough Starbucks this morning.
"... and do not RUN or CALL anything within it. Calls to stored procedures are fine." First I tell you to not use CALL, then say that CALL is fine. CALL is fine.

Be careful, though, to not GOTO out of it (set a variable for a label, use BREAK, then GOTO &vlabel), and do not RUN or CALL anything within it. Calls to stored procedures are fine.

But I am still curious about switch within switch, should it work? has anyone used that technique?
