In COBOL, an EVALUATE-WHEN-END-EVALUATE construct can use the
CONTINUE verb as a placeholder where you would normally need an imperative

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?!?
What do you need other than one of:
BCR 0,0
DS 0H
