Regarding:
AGAIN TIMEUSED ...
JNZ Again
Versus
AGAIN TIMEUSED ..
CFI R15,8
BE AGAIN
I used CFI because it is an immediate instruction. That instruction is not
going to need the literal pool. I also used that instruction because it is my
understanding that TIMEUSED set the Return Code. I used the CFI to trigger a
condition code that could be checked. Looking at the expansion of the
TIMEUSED macro below, will the condition code set by the LTR at address 1E
still be in effect? Is that why you suggested just JNZ after the TIMEUSED
macro?
I created the base register out of habit. That is what I was taught to do 30
plus years ago. However, in this situation it is required.
The macro uses a branch with offset.

I am very interested in the BAKR and PR instructions. I am seen them
mentioned but I have not researched them.
However when I ran a version of the program using BAKR and PR, the program
abended with S0E0 Reason=30
Which means: "A stacking instruction was issued when the linkage stack was
full."
Is it possible that this error occurs because the TIMEUSED macro uses the PC
instruction?
