Syntax
CONTINUE[.
extent
]
Description
extent
Specifies the
extent
of the generated forward branch. The legal
values are shown below; if omitted, the branch extent is
determined by the current default forward branch size (see
OPT BRB/BRS/BRW
directive).
B
8-bit forward branch
S
8-bit forward branch
W
16-bit forward branch
The
CONTINUE
macro is analogous to the
continue
statement in C
—
i.e., it
proceeds to the next iteration of the smallest enclosing loop. It is used to skip the
remainder of the current iteration of a
FOR
,
REPEAT
, or
WHILE
loop.
The
CONTINUE
macro expands into an unconditional branch to the
assembler-generated label that immediately precedes the condition test of the
smallest enclosing loop. Using this macro outside a loop results in an error.
