The fact that none of the CASE statements include a BREAK is the thing that is throwing it off. It can't tell if you meant the RETURN to be there or if you expecting execution to go to the next CASE but you accidentally put a non-conditional RETURN in there. The first case is more likely (you have the RETURN there on purpose) so I'll change the code to make this assumption as well.
