RE: Do Forever Loop

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barbara,

So why wasn't an HACF op-code in the survey?  I wouldn't think it would cost
too many development bucks... ;)

Personally, I'd be more interested in a ZAPUSER op.

Cindy, if you use LEAVE, you still need a way to decide whether to
LEAVE or not, like SHTDN which tells you whether the subsystem is
doing a controlled shutdown.

First time I saw "SHTDN", I assumed it was something like the
370 assembler instruction HACF (Halt And Catch Fire).  I was
rather disappointed to find out it was just a "checking" opcode.
