• Blanket prohibitions are generally a bad idea in any field. All processors have Jump instructions, which are low-level GOTOs, and high-level languages compile or interpret down to that, so your actual code is full of GOTOs anyway, now matter how fanatic you are about structure. They're like any tool - they can be misused, and they can be the best tool for the job. People who automatically just repeat the 'GOTO is BAD' mantra are sheep - I prefer to think for myself.

    I also wish T-SQL had a GoSub statement - would have been perfect for a job just today. Instead, I wound up with a couple of GOTOs and some awkward tests.
