For compatibility with other
BASICs,
SuperBASIC supports the GOSUB statement.
GOSUB transfers processing
to
the specified
line
number; a
RETurn
statement
will
transfer
processing back
to
the statement tollowing GOSUB.
The line number specification can be an expression.
syntax:
GOSUB
line_number
example
I.
GOSUB
100
ii.
GOSUB
4*seLect
variabLe
The control structures available
in
SuperBASIC make the
GOSUB
statement redundant.
