Conditional assembly language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Conditional Assembly Language is that part of an Assembly Language used to write macros.
In the IBM conditional assembly language (as an example), the most important statements are:-
- MACRO and MEND - used to start and finish a macro
- AIF, AGO, ANOP, AEND, AEXIT and MEXIT - used to control the generation of different assembly language statements, depending on the nature of the macro’s supplied arguments.
- SETx - used to manipulate variables within the macro.
