GoTo
Unconditionally transfers control to a specified line in the script.
Syntax
Goto location
Argument
location
The line label or section name to transfer execution to.
Remarks
The line label or section specified in the
GoTo statement must exist within the script. A
line label must conform to the
Naming conventions, and must end with a colon. You cannot combine a line label and a statement on one line and a line label cannot appear within another control statement.
Too many
GoTo statements can make code difficult to read and debug. It is recommended that you use structured control statements (
Do...Loop,
For...Next,
If...Then...Else,
Select Case) whenever possible.
