HiYa

I know that everyone has sooo much love of these, but I have a question about this. My doco on these is a little scant, I think that this is the wrong syntax, but I'm not sure that it was ever allowed. This form was working
(according to the users) and now (with no modifications for years) has
suddenly stopped? I wonder if this syntax was allowed on a previous version of Oracle, but not this one.

My question is ... in the when am I allowed to use:

  when '2' or '12' then

I've quoted from the .inp file to show context:

      DEFINE STEP  

         TEXT = <<<
         #exemacro
              case  :CNTRL.DEET_PROG_TYPE  is
              when  '3' then
                     case  :PG_CNDTR.ATND_TYPE  is
                     when  'F'   then
                                     copy '2'  into :CNTRL.PROV1;
                                        copy '12' into :CNTRL.COND1;
                                        copy '1'  into :CNTRL.PROV2;
                                        copy '6'  into :CNTRL.COND2;
                                        copy '2'  into :CNTRL.PROV3;
                                        copy '12' into :CNTRL.COND3;
                     when  'P'   then
                                        copy '1'  into :CNTRL.PROV1;
                                        copy '6'  into :CNTRL.COND1;
                                        copy '2'  into :CNTRL.PROV2;
                                        copy '12' into :CNTRL.COND2;
                                        copy '1'  into :CNTRL.PROV3;
                                        copy '6'  into :CNTRL.COND3;
                     when   others   then   endtrig  message
             'ERR-0425:  No changes made as student is not Full or Part Time';
                     end    case;
              when  '2' or '12'   then
                     case  :PG_CNDTR.ATND_TYPE  is
                     when  'F'   then
                                    copy '3'  into :CNTRL.PROV1;
                                        copy '18' into :CNTRL.COND1;
                                        copy '2'  into :CNTRL.PROV2;
                                        copy '12' into :CNTRL.COND2;
                                        copy '3'  into :CNTRL.PROV3;
                                        copy '18' into :CNTRL.COND3;
                     when  'P'   then
                                        copy '2'  into :CNTRL.PROV1;
                                        copy '12' into :CNTRL.COND1;
                                        copy '3'  into :CNTRL.PROV2;
                                        copy '18' into :CNTRL.COND2;
                                        copy '12' into :CNTRL.COND3;
