How to write conditional assembly instructions HLASM Language Reference SC26-4940-06 |
|
This chapter describes the conditional assembly language. With
the conditional assembly language, you can carry out general arithmetic
and logical computations, and many of the other functions you can
carry out with any other programming language. Also, by writing conditional
assembly instructions in combination with other assembler language
statements, you can:
The assembler processes the instructions and expressions of the conditional assembly language during conditional assembly processing. Then, at assembly time, it processes the generated instructions. Conditional assembly instructions, however, are not processed after conditional assembly processing is completed. The conditional assembly language is more versatile when you use it to interact with symbolic parameters and the system variable symbols inside a macro definition. However, you can also use the conditional assembly language in open code; that is, code that is not within a macro definition. |
