mode

Specifies the addressing mode to be used by the code that follows this macro until it is again specified. This is a positional parameter and must be specified if PUSHR= is also specified. Do not use this operand if POPR= is specified.

24

Specifies 24-bit addressing mode.

31

Specifies 31-bit addressing mode.

PUSHR=

Specifies a register to be used to store the current addressing mode. If mode is specified, this keyword is also required.

Note: Do not enclose the specified register in parenthesis.

POPR=

Specifies a register to be used to restore the previous addressing mode. The register specified here must have been previously loaded by a $AMODE mode PUSHR= instruction. Do not specify this keyword if mode and PUSHR= are specified.

Note: Do not enclose the specified register in parenthesis.

R=

Specifies a work register to be used by this macro instruction. Register 15 is the default.

Note: Do not enclose the specified register in parenthesis.

RELATED=

Specifies a character string used to self-document this macro instruction call. Any specification type value for macro keywords can be used here. This field is useful for documenting the inline pairing of $AMODE macros.
