7.1.12 GoTo

Purpose

Unconditionally jumps to a specified label.

Syntax

GoTo LabelName

Argument

LabelName: Specify the label name of the jump destination. Use a name that complies with the variable naming conventions.

Description

The GoTo statement transfers execution control to a specified label. Execution resumes from the line following the label. A syntax error occurs if multiple labels have the same name at the script level or procedure level.

You can write the label at any position. However, if you specify a GoTo statement within a procedure, the labeled line must exist within that procedure.

An execution error occurs if you specify a jump destination label as follows:

Specify a GoTo statement outside the procedure and specify a jump destination label within the procedure.
Specify a GoTo statement outside the flow control statement and specify a jump destination label within the flow control statement.

Example

If  Exec ("NOTEPAD.EXE" ,True ,"Loging.txt" ) = False Then
  GoTo  ErrorExit   ' Transfer control to ErrorExit.
End
:
ErrorExit:          ' Start processing from here.
