Labels and GOTO Statement

Labels

 

Labels serve as targets for the GOTO statement. Mark the desired jump point just before the target statement with a colon and label like this:

 

:mylabel

u1 = u2 +5;  // this is where the statement 'GOTO mylabel;' will jump to!

 

The label given must be a valid identifier and there should be no space between the colon and the label name.

 

 

 

GOTO Statement

Using the GOTO command to jump ..

 

Goto mylabel;  // jump to mylabel position

u3 = 'a';      // this assignment command will not be executed

 

or

 

// using a conditional jump

if a=5 then Goto mylabel;
