It must have been new with 8.1.6. I run it successfully on 8.1.6, but I get errors on 8.1.5.

CASE is not supp
CASE is supported in 8.1.6 and 8.1.7. Jonathan, as far as I can
tell, your SQL statement is flawed. Shouldn't it be something
like:
select case when 1=1 then 2 end as test
from dual;

CASE has been around since at least 8.1.6. The syntax you posted is incorrect. I
believe you wanted something akin to the following:
1 select case
2 when 1=1 then 2
3 else 3
4 end "1"
5* from dual
