Script Type Function Block Command: Jump To

Command Description

This command unconditionally transfers execution of the current script to another step. It is similar to the Jump If command, except that the jump always happens, rather than being based on evaluating a condition.

Note that excessive use of Jump To and Jump If commands can make a script difficult to understand. Consider using an If / Else / Else If / End If structure if possible, which can accomplish the same task while resulting in more readable code.

Value Field Parameters

This command has a special interface that appears upon double-clicking the Value column, to make it easier for you to select a particular command to jump to. The current step number is shown in the field, and the selected step's number and description are also highlighted in a magenta box.

You can change the jump target in several ways:

• Type a new number into the field.
• Press the up or down arrows to increment or decrement the value.
• Use the up or down keys on your keyboard to increment or decrement the value.

As you change the value, the magenta box will move accordingly. Press the Enter key to finalize your selection.
