using Switch statment in UR 5 pendant programming

JoAN

Hi

i try to find the syntax for make the program to select the proper case in a switch statment, i have not found any examples of how to define the statement

You have to use a variable which is an integer. You will switch on this variable. Then each of your cases will correspond to the integer value of the variable. You cannot use strings. The basic structure looks something like this. 

    global counter = 0

    Loop until counter > 2
     Switch counter
       Case 0
           Do something here
        case 1
            Do something else here
         case 2
             And something else here
         case default
              Default behavior
       End switch
        counter=counter +1
    end loop
