Syntax:
GOTO label
Description:
GOTO unconditionally transfers control to a label specified by label.
• In an
IF statement block, you can omit GOTO immediately following THEN or
ELSE, as shown below.
IF a=0 THEN Lbl1 ELSE Lbl2
END IF
• GOTO allows you to branch anywhere in your program. However, you should
branch only to another line in a program module or subroutine at the same pro-
gram level. Avoid transferring control to a
DEF FN block or other blocks at the dif-
ferent program level.
• You can use
GO TO instead of GOTO.
Syntax errors:
