Is it possible to do this in AS?

label GetNum
display dialog "Please enter a number less than 100:" default answer "50"
set theText to text returned of the result as number
if theText is not less than 100 then
go to GetNum --this is what I am wondering: can AS go back to "label GetNum" without using handlers?
end if

thanks

Hi,

there is no “label” and “go to” statements in AppleScript.
But you can do the same thing with a repeat block

repeat
	display dialog "Please enter a number less than 100:" default answer "50"
	set theText to text returned of the result as number
	if theText is less than 100 then exit repeat
end repeat
