Turbo Pascal (5.5) defines
label = digit-sequence .
Are you sure ?
I had a doubt and I had a look in some very old source code from 1990
made with tp 5.5, it seems you could have letters in labels.
You are right. I have a printed cope of the Turbo Pascal 6.0 Programmer's Guide and it says,
confusingly, on page 16
"The digIt sequence for a label must be in the range 0.9999"
and on page 8
"A label is a digit sequence in the range 0.999".
but on page 9
"As an extension to Standard Pascal, Turbo Pascal also allows
identifiers to functions as labels.
