{{fbdoc item="title" value="ON...GOSUB"}}----
Calls a label based on an expression

{{fbdoc item="syntax"}}##
	**On** //expression// **Gosub** //label1//[, ...]
##
{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	Branches to different labels depending on the value of //expression//. An expression value of 1 will branch to the first label, a value of 2 to the second, etc.  If the value of //expression// is zero (0) or greater than the number of items in the list, execution continues on the next statement following the ##**On...Gosub**##.
	
	This statement behaves exactly like ##[[KeyPgGosub|Gosub]]## and execution may return to the statement following the ##**On...Gosub**## using ##[[KeyPgReturn|Return]]##.
	
	It is recommended that the structured ##[[KeyPgSelectcase|Select Case]]## conditional statement be used instead of ##**On...Gosub**##.
