GOTO Statement
Controlling Program Flow
096254 Tandem Computers Incorporated 12–25
Usage Guidelines GOTO statements can make a program harder to understand and maintain, but they
are useful when you need to:
Branch to a common exit or common error-handling code after some condition is
met
Exit from the middle of a multidimensional search or loop after some condition is
met
Maximize program performance
For most other circumstances, use conditional control statements such as labeled
CASE, DO, IF, and WHILE.
