What is the use of EVALUATE statement?

Answer Posted / suresh babu

You can use the EVALUATE statement instead of a series of
nested IF statements to test several conditions and specify
a different action for each. Thus we can use the EVALUATE
statement to implement a case structure or decision table.
We can also use the it to cause multiple conditions to lead
to the same processing.
