Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Branch to one of several locations, depending on the value of an expression.
 
ON expression% GOSUB line-list
ON expression% GOTO line-list
 
    ■ expression%    An expression in the range 0 through 255.
    ■ line-list      A set of labels or line numbers. If the value of the
                     expression is 1, the program branches to the first line
                     in the list; if the expression is 2, it branches to the
                     second line, and so on.
 
    ■ SELECT CASE provides a better way to perform multiple branching.
 
Example:
    FOR i% = 1 TO 2
        ON i% GOSUB One, Two
    NEXT i%
    END
 
    One: PRINT "One"
    RETURN
    Two: PRINT "Two"
    RETURN
