GoTo
The GoTo statement 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.
The line label or section specified must exist in 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. A line label cannot appear within another control statement.
Remarks
Too many
GoTo statements can make code difficult to read. Use structured control statements (
Do...Loop,
For...Next,
If...Then...Else,
Select Case) whenever possible.
