The FoxPro GOTO statement
FoxPro does in fact have a GoTo
statement but it's not a program control command. Instead it
moves the record pointer to the record number specified:
Goto
12
will move the record pointer to record number 12. This command is
useful in small record sets but can be slow in a large table and it
goes against the spirit of a relational database. When you use it
you assume that you can rely on the absolute position of a record
in a data set and you restrict yourself to using native FoxPro
data sources.
This command should be considered as being included for backwards
compatibilty only.
The word "Goto" is actually optional. The command:
12
on its own will move the record pointer to record 12. An idiosyncracy
of the language which should not be used in production code.
