First of all,I'm sorry about asking so many questions over the last few days.
My question is as below.
In the program below,
After the LTR instruction in GETSEM routine,there is a BP NEXTSEM instruction.Now in NEXTSEM routine,there is BCT R8,GETSEM.
My question is when R8 becomes zero which instruction would be executed next ? Would the control come back to instruction after BP NEXTSEM which is PERLOOP BR RC or would the NEXTMEET AH R8,SIX instruction be executed ?
I'm trying to understand when PERLOOP BR RC instruction is executed.
