Sequence Control Instructions Section 3-5
Operand Specifications
Description The instructions between FOR(512) and NEXT(513) are executed N times
and then program execution continues with the instruction after NEXT(513).
The BREAK(514) instruction can be used to cancel the loop.
If N is set to 0, the instructions between FOR(512) and NEXT(513) are pro-
cessed as NOP(000) instructions.
Loops can be used to process tables of data with a minimum amount of pro-
gramming.
FOR-NEXT loops can be nested up to 15 levels. In the example below, pro-
gram sections A, B, and C are executed as follows:
A
→ B → B → C, A → B → B → C, and A → B → B → C
