UDFs and Gotos

Keywords:   UDFs Gotos

Question:

Are goto commands not usable in a udf? The following doesn't work...
#definefunction read_tbuttons()
if ... then ...
for ...
next

if section == 1 then goto adsi
if section == 2 then goto discovery
...
file handles, buffers and ole instructions are mentioned, but not goto's

Answer:

It works, but it must stay inside the UDF. You cannot goto some label outside the udf.

The UDF should be 100% self contained.
