HP 48gII Graphing manual Skips instructions Equivalents, These instructions Are equivalent to

The foundation of Skips is the Block structure. A block is enclosed in { and }, and can be nested within another block. The following instructions deal with blocks.

SKIPS instructions				Equivalents
{ ... }				Defines a block (generates no code)
SKIP { ...		}		GOTO .S	...	*.S
SKIPL {		...	}	GOTOL .S ...		*.S
SKIPC {		...	}	GOC .S ...	*.S
SKC {	... }			GOC .S ...	*.S
SKIPNC		{...	}	GONC .S	...	*.S
SKNC { ...		}		GONC .S	...	*.S
Test SKIPYES { }...				Test GOYES .S ...			*.S
Test { ...	}			Test GOYES .S ...			*.S
Test	{ ...	}		/Test GOYES .S...			*.S
Test > {		... }		/Test GOYES .S ...			*.S
SKUB { ...		}		GOSUB .S ...		*.S
SKUBL {		...	}	GOSUBL .S *.S...
STRING		{ ...	}	$/02A2C GOIN5 *.S ...				*.S (to create a character string)
CODE { ...		}		$/02DCC GOIN5 *.S ...				*.S (to create a code object)
STROBJ		$PROLOG { ... }		$(5)PROLOG GOIN5 .S ... *.S (to create a ‘prolog – length’
				object)

/Test is the opposite of Test. For example if Test is ?A<C.A, /Test is ?A>=C.A. The test instructions dealing with the hardware register (?HST=0, ?MP=0, ?SR=0, ?XM=0, ?SB=1, ?HST=1, ?MP=1,

?SR=1, ?XM=1 and ?SB=1) cannot be inverted.

Once blocks are defined, special instructions can be used in them. The instructions called EXIT and UP allow jumping to the end or to the beginning of a block.

These instructions	are equivalent to
{	*.Beginning
EXIT	GOTO.End
EXITC	GOC.End
EXITNC	GONC.End
?A=0.A EXIT	?A=0.A ¨.End
UP	GOTO.Beginning
UPC	GOC.Beginning
UPNC	GONC.Beginning
?A=0.A UP	?A=0.A ¨.Beginning
}	*.End

Note: In Saturn mode do not be confused between EXIT and UP instructions, which are GOTOs, and EXIT and UP after a test, which are GOYES’s. EXIT and UP can jump to the beginning or to the end of an upperle vel block by specifying the number of blocks to exit, after the UP or EXIT instructions.
