Null statement (NOP or CONTINUE)

[Acetronics2]

Hi Russ and Steve

for 16F ...

While 0
Wend

next command

gives in asm

L0001    GOTO L0002
            GOTO L0001
L0002    .... Next Command

Should do the trick, no ???

Alain,
well yes or no, but it's just longer to type

Joe
Yes, I think you got it right.

To make it easier...

GOTO $+1

is the same as
NOP
NOP

well instruction-cycle wise (can I say that ??? )

I should probably have explained:

I don't leave the dummy statement in a finished program. Usually, it occupies a space where another function, or a GOTO, or a GOSUB will be placed.

I really like Alain's

WHILE 0
WEND

. . . which I assume I could render on one line as WHILE 0 : WEND, and then go from there.

But the GOTO $+1 intrigues me, too. Will that work as a PBP command?

yeah it will work, but you need to use the @ sign before (how it's called anyways, here we use to call it commercial A, then AT... )as it's an ASM statement

@ GOTO $+1
