undefined label error in vs 2010

I am using Vs 2010 and my application is in C . I have used goto in one function to jump to the return statement present in another function. The function where i used goto is defined below the one where label is present . Does the order of label defining and goto matter in C. I am getting error " label undefined"

regards

As the webpage for this Visual Studio compiler error says, "The label used by a goto statement does not exist in the function." You're not allowed to goto a different function because of the problems that would cause for local variable definitions.

The goto must be local to the function the label is defined in. If you want to have a non-local jump you should check out setjmp/longjmp.
