Workflow Instruction: Case, Case-When, Case-Else

The basic structure when using the instruction includes:

Case
    When <predicate> Then ... When-End
    When <predicate> Then ... When-End
    Else ... Else-End
Case-End


Explanations:

The outer Case and Case-End Instruction block holds any inner instructions.
The inner Case-When Instructions are used with a predicate, i.e. an expression that evaluates to true or false.
- The instruction implements a Case-When and Case-When-End block holding any other instructions.
- Any number of Case-When Instructions can be added to a Case Instruction.
- More than one Case-When Instruction's predicate can evaluate to true and will trigger included jobs and instructions being executed.
The Case-Else Instruction optionally can be used as the last instruction inside the Case Instruction.
- The instruction implements a Case-Else and Case-Els-End block holding any other instructions.
- A single Case-Else Instruction can be used.
Case Instructions can be nested. An inner Case-When Instruction or Case-Else Instruction can include other Case Instructions.
