A string is not an ordinal value, it is a structured value. Depending on the 
contents of the string, you might consider

  Case UTemp[1] Of

or rewrite your code to calculate some numeric value from your string and use 
that value in the Case ... Of.

Only modern compilers (like Delphi) accept strings for case selectors.
