Ideas on a goto statement

[sthorne1271]

I have a task that performs numerous steps in an application and at the end I need to perform a validation step. If the validation step fails I need it return to top of the task and perform the steps again. It would not be at the very begginning of the task but say line 20. Is there a way to tell a task to return to a specific line in a task and execute from there? Can you perform a loop until maybe a variable is set to a specific condition?

I don't recall seeing a function like this. If not it might be a nice enhancement and should relatively easy to implement to have basically a goto statement and can input the line number you want the task to execute next.

thanks,
Steve

Hello sthorne1271,

Unfortunately we do not have any such feature of “Goto statement”.
However thank you for your suggestion. We will surely forward it as an enhancement to our development team.

Thanks & Regards

you may want to consider an EXIT LOOP inside a loop command... or just a loop on a variable
