 GO command
 Move the pointer to the specified identity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     GO[TO] <xIdentity>

 Arguments

     <xIdentity> a unique value guaranteed by the structure of the data
     file to reference a specific item in a data source (database).  In a
     (.dbf), identity is the record number.  In other data formats, identity
     is the unique primary key value.

 Description

     GO[TO] is a database command that positions the record pointer in the
     current work area at the specified identity.  In an Xbase data
     structure, this identity is the record number because every record, even
     an empty record, has a record number.  In data structures of different
     design, identity may be defined as something other than record number.

 Examples

     .  This example saves the current record number, searches for a
        key, then restores the record pointer to the saved position:

        FUNCTION KeyExists( xKeyExpr )

           LOCAL nSavRecord := RECNO()      // Save the current record
                                            // pointer position
           LOCAL lFound

           SEEK xKeyExpr
           IF ( lFound := FOUND() )
              .
              .  < statements >
              .
           ENDIF

           GOTO nSavRecord      // Restore the record pointer position

           RETURN ( lFound )
