Hi all,

As my codes grows, i started to use goto label, just the label to go to specific part of my code instead of scroll up and down. Will this have any impact later on? Thanks

A label on it's own doesn't generic any code, so No. Goto LABEL will of course generate a jump opcode (from this location in the code to some other location in the code) which is equally sublime .. Goto only causes people issues when they nest calls and the 'order' of code execution can get lost to the coder.

Ho ho.

I will give you the best advice ever: Do not use goto, gosub. Ever. Use functions, use remarks ti mark your code, split code to other files.

I'd also advise not using GOTO, but I have no issue with GOSUB as it can help organize large chunks of code. Functions will make your code neat and more modular, but sometimes it's just not always a simple task. Good coding practices though will make it easier to build around functions instead.

Not 100% on topic but I wish the IDE would remember what code was folded when you start a project back up.
