(2) Description

The goto statement is used to exit deeply nested loops directly. Unlike this statement, the break statement can exit only one nesting level of repetitive statements.

(3) Example of coding

//MAIN section
MAIN
{
   ...
   ...
   AIT_LogMessage("LBL030: JUMP TO LABEL");
   goto label1;
       AIT_LogMessage("LBL030: NOT DISPLAYED 1");       // Not executed
 
       label1:                        // The control shifts here.
          AIT_LogMessage("LBL030: JUMPING TO LABEL ");  // Executed
}

(4) Notes

For better programming, you should use the break, continue, or return statement rather than the goto statement wherever possible.
