BASIC IDEA: BRANCHING
Without branching, programs would execute each command once, in order. Branching allows us to repeat sections of code, perform some sections conditionally, and skip others based on external events.
Concept
AMAX = dcount(ADDRESS,@VM)
for APOS = 1 to AMAX
   gosub process.one.address.line
next APOS
*
stop ;* Logical End of Program
*
* Start of Subroutines
*
process.one.address.line:
begin case
   case CTRY = 'US' ; gosub validate.us.address
   case CTRY = 'CA' ; gosub validate.ca.address
   case CTRY = 'UK' ; gosub validate.uk.address
   case CTRY = 'AU' ; gosub validate.au.address
end case
*
return
