8.10 ELSE — Conditional Assembly
Syntax:
IF
<condition>
[<assembly language statements>]
[
ELSE
]
[<assembly language statements>]
ENDIF
Description:
If <condition> is true, the statements between
IF
and the
corresponding
ELSE
directive generate code.
If <condition> is false, the statements between
ELSE
and the
corresponding
ENDIF
directive generate code. Nesting of
conditional blocks is allowed. The maximum level of nesting is
limited by the available memory at assembly time.
Example:
This is an example of using conditional assembly directives:
Try: EQU 0
IF Try != 0
LDD #1023
ELSE
LDD #0
ENDIF
The value of
Try
determines the instruction that generates
code. As shown, the
LDD #1023
instruction generates code.
Changing the operand of the
equ
directive to 1 causes the
LDD #0
instruction to generate code instead.
The following shows the listing provided by the assembler for
these lines of code:
0000 0001 Try: EQU 0
0000 0001 IF Try != 0
ELSE
000000 CC 0000 LDD #0
ENDIF
