      Description

      GOTO is an unstructured control flow statement. It makes code less readable and maintainable, and should only be used to branch to defined ENDSR points within the source. For normal loop functions use ITER or LEAVE instead.

      Noncompliant Code Example

      C     LOOP1         TAG 
... 
C                   GOTO      LOOP1
