Answer / venu

in go to the control will be transferred to either forward

only single iteration will be done in go to.

wht is the difference between goto and perform stmts..

Answer / makar

First, what are they use for?

1) 'Go to' statement is use when you want to perform a para
or skip some para's(Somtimes tag are used instead of para)
and jump to next para or tag, without the control comming
back to statement after go to. It is like a Jump.

2) 'Perform' is used when you what to want to perform a
para and want the control to comeback to called statement.
However if you do not use EXIT statement at the end of the
para, it will 'fall thru' and perform the next para. Always
use Perform.. thru and Exit statement if you want the
control to come back.
