`Code smell`	`BSL` `OS`	`Critical`	`Yes`	`5`	`standard` `badpractice`

Description¶

goto is an unstructured control flow statement. It makes code less readable and maintainable.
Structured control flow statements such as if, for, while, continue or break should be used instead.

Examples¶

Bad:

I = 0;
 ~loop: Message(StrTemplate("i = %1", i));
 i = i + 1;

 If i < 10 Then

     Goto ~Loop;

 EndIf;

Good:

For Counter = 0 To 10 Do

   Message(StrTemplate("Counter = %1", Counter))

EndDo;
