Subject: Goto or equivalent?

Is there any goto or equivalent in octave? I can't seem to find one.

At the simplest level I would like to write something like

    ...
    code
    ...
    if (you_are_done)
       goto END_MAIN;
    endif
    ...
    more code if not done
    ...
    END_MAIN:;

This mechanism can easily accomplished in a subroutine. Just replace 
"goto END_MAIN" with "return" and forget the last line. But can it be 
done in the main program without a big if-block?

Regards,

Vic
