I thinking so it designed to be protected before processing CASE
statement without any effect. You can design CASE for some values, and
when is there different value (in runtime), then your an design can be
invalid. So current the design is need some lines more, but is safe.
SQL CASE returns NULL if no expression is executed. PSM CASE raises exception.
