Examples

 While the SELECT/SELECTONE statements can be used similar to the
 CASE statement.  For example,

    SELECT expression OF
     1: WRITELN('ONE');
     2: WRITELN('TWO');
     OTHERWISE WRITELN('not ONE or TWO')
     END

 a more subtle (and powerful)  form  uses  the  Boolean  constant
 'TRUE' as the select-selector.  For example,

    SELECTONE True OF
     expression < 10: WRITELN('Value is small');
     expression < 100: WRITELN('Value is medium');
     expression < 1000: WRITELN('Value is big');
     OTHERWISE WRITELN('Value is too big');
     END

    SELECTONE True OF
     expression = "AAA": writeln('String is AAA');
     expression = "BBB": writeln('String is BBB');
     expression = "CCC": writeln('String is CCC');
     OTHERWISE writeln('unknown string');
     END

    FOR i := 1 TO 10 DO
      SELECT True OF
       ODD(i): WRITELN('value ',i:1,' is odd');
       (i MOD 3) = 0:
               WRITELN('value ',i:1,' is also a multiple of 3');
       END;
