8.10 ELSE — Conditional Assembly

Syntax:

IF

[]

[

ELSE

]

[]

ENDIF

Description:

If is true, the statements between

IF

and the

corresponding

ELSE

directive generate code.

If 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
