Pointer (P)

The pointer (P) is a device used in jump instructions (CJ, SCJ, or JMP) or subroutine call instructions (such as CALL).
(1) Applications
Pointers can be used in the following applications.
• Specification of the jump destination in a jump instruction (CJ, SCJ, or JMP) and a label (start address of the
jump destination)
• Specification of the call destination of a subroutine call instruction (CALL or CALLP) and a label (start
address of the subroutine program)
(2) Pointer types
There are the following two different pointer types.
• Local pointer (
The pointer used independently in each program
• Common pointer (
The pointer that can be called in all running programs by the subroutine call instruction.
(3) Number of available pointer points
The following shows the available number of points.
