RESUME

RESUME is used exclusively within error trap routines (see ON ERROR GOTO) to clear the error status and resume the program. You have the option of resuming at a specific location by specifying a <label>, or you can resume at the statement that caused the error by omitting the <label>. Note that the latter case only makes sense when the error trap routine (or some external event, such as releasing a lock on a file) effectively resolves the problem which caused the error. Otherwise you'll have an infinite loop, trapping and resuming the same error over and over again.
