GOTO Statement
Category Reference/Commodore Basic V3.5 Topic GOTO line# This statement can be entered as GOTO or GO TO. When a GOTO statement is executed in a program, program execution jumps to the line number specified after the GOTO statement. GOTO can also be used in direct mode to start a program from a specific line number, similar to the RUN command, except that variables are not cleared when using GOTO in this manner. When used within an IF/THEN/ELSE statement, the GOTO keyword may be optional, see the IF/THEN/ELSE statement for more information. If a line number is not specified after a GOTO statement, it assumes line 0. If the specified line number does not exist in the program, an ?UNDEF'D STATEMENT ERROR occurs. Examples `10 PRINT "HELLO":GOTO 10` The GOTO 10 causes line 10 to be repeated indefinitely until RUN/STOP is pressed `GOTO 20` Used in direct mode, starts program execution at line 20 with all variables left intact Abbreviation G SHIFT+O
