What are you trying to do? Why do you need to go to a specific line? Would a loop not solve this? What about calling specific lines in a procedure?

Nope. You didn't "want" a goto since at least 1968"need" it after 1973[1]

So if you don't want a goto... and don't need to use it... what exactly are you asking?

I need it because in my program i need it to go from line 22 to line 609 because i don't want to rewrite the same code again besides the goto command is not bad for some it might fro others it is a life saver

Simply use a loop and a condition if you want to avoid rewriting code.


var thing : int := 0

loop
    if thing = 5 then
        do
        something
    end if
    
    thing += 1
    put thing
end loop


That way, you dont need to write "thing += 1" 5 times before presenting the condition.

Or better yet, it sounds like you want to split your code up into procedures, which are like gotos but better!

Re: Goto command or coding

-----------------------------------

You sound like you'd need a procedure more so than you would a loop


procedure ProcedureName
    Code
end ProcedureName



/*
 * Calling a procedure. I'm guessing you would be using an if statement?
 */



if condition then
    ProcedureName
elsif condition then
    Something else
end if
