goto label; behavior

I am trying to use this statement, but it only works if the label is before the call, is this the normal behavior?

No.
How are you defining 'label'?.
The syntax is:

GOTO MYJUMP;
//any code you want
MYJUMP:
//more code here

There should not be a 'call' (this is a goto, not a call). If you want to call something (a subroutine), then either this needs to be defined beforehand, or a prototype must exist.
How old is your compiler?. though this has worked correctly for years, if you have an 'antique' version, all bets are off...

Version is 3.200

I really dont know now ;)

I was trying to code something that would require a label to jump some code.. I gave up and used another way.

I dont know where was the problem but:

label:
..
..
goto label; //worked fine


goto label;
..
..
label: // didnt compile

I could not reproduce the error now, probably it was me but thanks for your attention.

See this thread. This was likely the problem:

Great PCM!

Sometimes I stuck in some little big details ;)

That continue; saved me a lot of head scratching.

Interestingly, this is not true with three compiler versions I tried. Suggests it has been 'fixed', but a real 'caveat' for anyone using GOTO constructs...
