Initial Description 
You can use the goto statement to have SAS process statements in some other part of your program, by providing a label followed by a colon before the statements you wish to jump to. Label names follow the same rules as variable names, but have a different name space. When a labeled statement is encountered in normal processing, it is ignored.
Initial Title
