If you are in the BRCH menu, i.e., (
„°@)@BRCH@ ) you can use the following
shortcuts to type in your CASE construct (The location of the cursor is
indicated by the symbol
):
• „@)CASE@: Starts the case construct providing the prompts: CASE
THEN END END
• ‚@)CASE@: Completes a CASE line by adding the particles THEN END
Example – program f

Using the CASE statement in User RPL language we can code this function as:
«
→ x
«
CASE ‘x<3‘ THEN ‘x^2‘ END ‘x<5‘ THEN ‘1-x‘ END
‘x<3*π‘ THEN ‘SIN(x)‘ END ‘x<15‘ THEN ‘EXP(x)‘ END –2 END
