go()

go( <"label"> )

Description

This branches to the specified label; which means that the execution of the script 'jumps' to the specified location.
You can branch to any label, forwards or backwards.

Examples

This example following shows a simple loop:

set A to 0
.loop
  A++
  go("loop")

Remember, you can branch forwards and backwards. This can be used to implement platform-specific code selection, such as is shown in this example:

; are we running under RISC OS or Windows?
set O to status(channel)
if (O = -1) go("initwin")   ; channel is ALWAYS "-1" under WinTTX

; here? we're running under RISC OS
filewrite("<Teletext$Temp>.Report")
go("initcontinue")

.initwin
; else it is WinTTX
filewrite("#TEMP#\report.dpd")

.initcontinue
[and the commands to write to the file go here...]

call()
return()
