In COBOL, an EVALUATE-WHEN-END-EVALUATE construct can use the CONTINUE verb as a placeholder where you would normally need an imperative statement. Well, in ASSEMBLER I have a SELECT-WHEN-ENDSL construct in which I now need the same kind of placeholder instruction. In storage I have used CNOP for alignment purposes but I don't think that is what I want in this case. I know there are a number of instructions (compare, branch, etc) that CAN be used as such a placeholder but the manual says these are not the best way to do that kind of thing. But it doesn't say what IS the best way to do this and I don't see a NOP or NOOP -- as I would expect. What am I missing?!?
