Labels

Identifier :

A label indicates a target for the GOTO or GOSUB instruction.

A label is local to a function or procedure.

GOTO and labels can be used to leave a control structure.

FOR iY As Integer = 0 TO 5 FOR iX As Integer = 0 TO 20 STEP 1 PRINT "Loop1 "; iX IF iX = 3 THEN GOTO LOOP2 NEXT NEXT LOOP2:

But GOTO and labels cannot be used to enter a control structure. This is forbidden, even if the variables are preset.

Dim iX As Integer = 18 ' GOTO LOOP3 ' forbidden FOR iX = 20 TO -2 STEP -2 LOOP3: PRINT "Loop2 "; iX NEXT
