Shell Programming and Scripting

In Korn Shell, can you use "go to" statements? Would you then put paragraph names with a colon?

For example,

would you specify "goto para1" and then have the paragraph with the label para1:?

I am getting an error message when Idid this. I have my paragraph name 'clsbooks:' and I get this when I run the script.

/checkbooks[22]: clsbks:: not found.

How else would I do this?

Thank you.

you mean like if condition A is meet goto line 15 OR do you mean. if condition A is meet run function MY_FUNCTION?

i dont know all the ins and outs of ksh but you can deffinetly have subroutines in your script.

Code:

if [ TRUE ]; do
my_function
else
echo "NOT TRUE"
fi

my_function () {
echo "INSIDE MY FUNCTION"
}

Is it clsbooks or clsbks?

Code:

goto clsbks


clsbks:

I had it as clsbks on both areas (in the go to statement and the label).

Thank you.

There are no goto statements in ksh.

There is in csh.
