                                       CALL     k

By the way, don't bother using the "LCALL" pseudo-op... Since it
doesn't restore the code-page bits after the CALL, it's sorta
useless.  Also, be careful with the pseudo-ops that assemble to two
instructions; constructs like the following, for instance, will cause
you great pain and suffering:

    ; DON'T DO THIS!

    BTFSS   FLAGS,SWITCH    ;If the switch is pressed, skip ahead.
    NEGF    REG             ;Otherwise, negate the REG register.

Andrew Russell Morris Says:

Thanks a lot! A consultant my former employer hired used BZ and BNZ extensively. I have also been using them as well, but I didn't know where they came from and I wanted to know if there were any more of them. Also, I needed to be sure that they would reliably work. This posting helped me. Thanks a lot!

the_audio_technician-gmail- replies: BTW, if it weren't done this way, you'd only be able to call a given subroutine from one page — as the "RETURN" page bits would have to be set in the subroutine, so it would always return to the same page (no matter where you called it from). If that were the case, then you're right — it would be pretty useless. Luckily it's not.+
