Odd. Thanks @jibanes. i've just updated the README.md to let others know that I unfortunately don't work with Stata any more and don't have access to a license so my ability to tackle issues is hampered. If you think there is an easy fix and you know it I and others would appreciatively accept a PR and merge it in. Thanks for reporting this one 👍

. local a=2
. switch `a', cases (1 2 3) values (10 20 30)
switch matched 2 to a value of 20
. di "$switch_return"
20

I think it's just not consistent with older versions, but I wouldn't say it's broke.
