Depends on the language. But if you are talking about Bourne shell variants: esac


EDIT: Sorry, my answer was for a block.
Again if a Bourne variant, then two semicolons: ;;

Evo2.

your questions from previous posts are often short. please provide more info next time. From my guess of your other posts that you may referring to ksh, use esac for "close" the case construct. Otherwise, you have to spell out your problem more clearly
