So smelly or not we have a lot of stuff that branches conditionally based on 
return codes

Nothing unusual about that.

Has nothing to do with condition codes.

from whatever was just called. CLI *,0 and *,255 along with CR R11,R11 gives a range of options for indicating if something was good, bad or indifferent.

The ability to insert (say) a logging routine to trace an operation by using an IPM / <log> / SPM and not having to do the <expensive cc setting routine> over again or worry that <log> changed the cc outweighs the idea that doing <expensive cc setting operation> twice is somehow more intellectually pure.

YMMV, but it works.
