Using a good Assembler (like ASM-H with SLAC extensions) there is no need to
code such programmer-unfriendly code like
R0 EQU 0
HWORD DS H
LH R0,HWORD
$IF ZERO
LTR R0,R0
$THEN
If your Assembler supports type- and length attributes in outer and inner
macros, if you add some own types like "Register" you can code the same
similar to "high level languages" like FORTRAN:
R0 #EQUR 0
HWORD DS H
IF HWORD,EQ,0,THEN
We started this type of programming in the late 60-th -- and stopped it
some years ago. If anybody is interested I will look for a description
and the corresponding macro-library.
