The '''GoTo''' statement makes code execution jump to the specified [[label]].

==Syntax==

'''goto''' ''labelname'' ''';'''
The label name must be an identifier matching a label name in the immediately surrounding function or state.

==Usage considerations==
The '''GoTo''' statement should generally be avoided. Instead, other flow control statements, such as [[break]] or [[continue]], or the GotoState() function (for state code) should be used.

The label name must be a constant expression. It is ''not'' possible to specify a [[name]]-type variable here!

-The label name must be an identifier matching a label name in the immediately surrounding function or state.
+The label name must be an identifier matching a label name in the immediately surrounding function or ForEach block. The label can also be outside the current code block, but it is not allowed to jump out of or into a ForEach block. Other loop types and [[If]], Else or [[Switch]] blocks are unproblematic in that respect.
