Control flow statement to use a section of code and return.
Syntax
GoSub label
Description
Execution jumps to a subroutine marked by a line label. Always use
Return to exit a
GoSub, execution will continue on next statement after
GoSub.
The line label where
GoSub jumps must be in the same main/function/sub block as
GoSub. All the variables in the subroutine are shared with the block, no arguments can be used. For this reason Gosub is considered bad programming practice as it can generate unreadable and untraceable code. It is better to use
Sub or
Function instead.
Example
'' Compile with -lang qb
'$lang: "qb"
GoSub message
End
message:
Print "Welcome!"
Return
