Thanks everyone for the info. I do not use goto statements that
often(reminds me of the old basic days). I read that goto statements are
slower and most of the time there is another way to code it.
I just had one eep that would die at a goto statement. It is nested inside a
while loop. The label is also inside the while loop.
I changed the code to not use it and now it dies at another goto
statement(which it never did before). Maybe it does not like too many goto
statements in one eep?

The only two structures I avoid goto in are WHILE and SWITCH
NEVER use goto to exit a WHILE or SWITCH
ON THE OTHER HAND
If you could not say:
if something = true then
goto lblname
endif
You would be in a terrible state trying to branch anywhere!

Thanks for the info. How about if-then statements? Does that apply as well?
if something = true then
goto lblname
endif
label lblname

As long as the GoTo LabelName is inside the While Endwh

Subject: [RBASE-L] - using goto statement in while loops
Is it okay to use goto statements inside of while loops?
The reason I am asking is I am having one inside a form eep which kills the
eep when it runs that line.
