Basically CASE expression can do all the DCODE does and in addition to that IF-THEN analysis, like use of any comparision operatior and checking multiple conditions.

Examples :

select sal,case when sal < 2000 then 'Band A'
                when sal < 3000 then 'Band B'
                when sal < 4000 then 'Band C'
                else 'Band 5'
            end
from emp;
