Re: CHAIN Versus SETLL and READ When Data Needed

My instructor for 360 Basic Assembly had a wishlist of opcodes.  To
complement the various goto/branch opcodes, he wanted a COMEFROM.  

My favorite though was RPM - Read Programmers Mind.   How many times I
could have used that one.......

P.S. This discussion reminds me of my freshman programming class in
college (rough 1979); Dr. Perlman (our instructor) said "If you use a
GOTO,
I will break your fingers, and then I will fail you."
