The GoTo statement transfers program control to a specified line number or label. The GOTO statement not be executed from the command line. Error 1011 (Illegal immediate statement) will occur if such usage is attempted.

Comments and Examples

The following example transfers control to line number 45:

In the next example, where the GOTO points to a line label, control is transferred to the first executable statement after the label:

1000 GOTO START

Technical considerations
