Answer / venu
in go to the control will be transferred to either forward
or backward.once u pick to forward it wont come backward.
only single iteration will be done in go to.
in perform the control transferred to both backward n
forwars also, here multiple iterations will be done.

goto is also transfer control to a particular para and after
execution of that para contol goes forward... control never
comeback to next statement of goto......

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.

Answer / praveen b
Even though i read 6 answers still have a small confusion
regarding goto.
It will be more clear if someone can explain the difference
through a piece of code.
Thanks in Advance.
