Jumping from one case to the default case in switch statement

Question

switch(ch){
          case \'a\':
                 //do something, condition does not match so go to default case
                 //don\'t break in here, and don\'t

Here's what I did:

char ucResult = 1;
switch(ch){
      case 'a':
          if(ucResult){
             // do something
             if(error) ucResult = 0;
          }
      case 'b':
          if(ucResult){
             // do something
             if(error) ucResult = 0;
          }
      case 'c':
          if(ucResult){
             // do something
             if(error) ucResult = 0;
          }
      case '_':
          if(ucResult){
             // do something
             if(error) ucResult = 0;
          }
      default:
             //
             break;
}

With this structure, you can switch to default case from any previous cases. Handy for breaking outer loops too.
