A label gives a name to a statement. A label is built in the same way as an identifier.
These statements transfer control to a labeled statement by referring to its label:
- GoSub
- GoTo
- If...GoTo
- On Error
- On...GoSub
- On...GoTo
- Resume
The following rules govern the use of labels in a script:
- A label can only appear at the beginning of a line. It labels the first statement on the line.
- A label can appear on a line by itself. This labels the first statement starting after the line.
- The last character of a label must be a colon (:).
- A label can't be suffixed with a data type suffix character.
- A given statement can have more than one label preceding it; but the labels must appear on different lines.
- A given label can't be used to label more than one statement in the same procedure.
