IIRC most, if not all, BASIC systems supported a
RENUMcommand.veni bibi saltavi
Missing in Commodore BASIC and C-64 BASIC which was an even older version of Commodore BASIC. Commodore BASIC had decent garbage handling; C-64.. not so much.

VBA is the language of Office macros. It's like VB6-lite - all the horrible syntax and design decisions, with some extra restrictions on top. And VB.NET still supports both
On Error ...andGoto.

On Error... legacy. Just because it exists, doesn't mean you have to use it. You could use regex to traverse XML documents and yet, most people use XmlDocument and related classes Or you could use COBOL... goto exists in C# too and I'm sure there is some obscure reference or use for it in java too :) I know for sure it is used in various SQL variations in stored procedures X|
