HP Business BASIC/XL Reference Manual

GOTO 

The GOTO statement unconditionally transfers control to a specified line.
The line must be in the same program unit as the GOTO statement.  If the
line is not executable (a comment or declaration, for example) HP
Business BASIC/XL executes the first executable statement following it.

Syntax 

{GOTO }
{GO TO} line_id 

Parameters 

line_id          Line number or line label of the line that control
                 transfers to.  It must be in the same program unit as
                 the GOTO statement.  Although the GOTO statement can be
                 entered as either GO TO or GOTO, HP Business BASIC/XL
                 will always list it as GOTO.

Examples 

     10 GOTO 30       !Transfer control to line 30
     20 A = 1         !Never executed
     30 A = 2         !Executed immediately after line 10
     40 GO TO Remark  !Transfer control to line 60
     50 PRINT "HI"    !Never executed
     60 Remark:       !Unexecutable statement; execute next line
     70 PRINT A       !Executed after line 40
     99 END

Line 40 will list as GOTO Remark.
