Code:
name$="james"
PRINT "Welcome user what is your name?"
INPUT A
IF A=james 
GOTO

Unlike some other BASICs, BBC BASIC requires string variables always to end with a $, so:

Code:
INPUT A$
IF A$="james" THEN

or

Code:
INPUT A$
IF A$=name$ THEN

I would suggest that you spend some time working through the Beginners' Tutorial before you pick up too many bad habits (like using GOTO!):
