Hi,
  Is there a statement in pl/SQL like case or is if elsif the only way. Meaning if I need to transalate state depending on input number as follows :  

1 - CA
2 - OR
3 - WA
4 - AR
 

Can I have one statement like case 'state# :  

1. state := 'CA'
2. state := 'OR'

etc.  

or do i have to do :  

IF state# = 1 THEN
  state := 'CA';
ELSIF state# = 2 THEN
  state := 'OR';  

etc  

Thank You.
