    Here's another approach:

    Code:
    TestNumber as word
    TestVal as word
    
    If TestNumber = 0 then Zero
    TestVal = 2
    Test:
    	If TestNumber = TestVal Then
    		LCDOUT "Even"
    		EndProgram
    	Else
    		If TestNumber = TestVal - 1 then
    			LCDOUT "Odd"
    			EndProgram
    		Else
    			TestVal = TestVal + 2
    			Test
    		EndiF
    	Endif
    
    Zero:
    	LCDOUT "Zero"
    	EndProgram
    
    EndProgram:
    end

    Excellent! That's called a recursive method.
