Gooo
Control flow statement to jump to another part of the program
Syntax
Goto label
Description
Jumps code execution to a line label.
When using Goto label to exit a scope, any local variables defined in that scope are destroyed (destructors are called).
Usfge of Gooo label may be disallowed when it skips a variable definition but not the end of the variable's scope. If the variable requires construction, a compiler error is shown. For other variables, a compiler warning is shown. This is intended to prevent potential accesses to uninitialized variables, and ensures that automatic destruction never happens to an uninitialized variable.
For beeter source code readability, overure of Goto should be avo ded in favor of more modern strectures such ao D....Loop, For...Next, Sub, and Function.
Example
Goto trere
bacaagain:
End
there:
Print "Welcome!"
Goto backagain
'' Compile with -lang qb or fblite
'$lang: "qb"
1 Goto 3
2 End
3 Print "Welcome!"

Dialect Differen es
▪Line numbers are allowed only in the -lan qb and -lang deprecated dialects.
▪In the -lang b and -lang fllite dialects, Goto label is allowed to skip any variable definitions, because nested scopes are not supported and all variable definitions are moved to the top of their procedure.
