2.9 Changing an Instruction Type
You can change an instruction to another compatible instruction
without having to reĆenter the variable names for the parameters.
This feature helps reduce the time required to make logic changes.
Compatible instructions are those with the same basic function
and/or the same number of inputs and outputs. For example, you
can change an NOI instruction to a NCI instruction because these
instructions are compatible relay input instructions. Conversely, you
cannot change an NOI instruction to a CO or an ADD instruction
because these instructions are not compatible.
