Statement example

The following example shows the use of name, operation, operand, and remarks entries. The symbol COMP names a compare instruction, the operation entry (CR) is the mnemonic operation code for a register-to-register compare operation, and the two operands (5,6) designate the two general registers whose contents are to be compared. The remarks entry reminds readers that this instruction compares NEW SUM to OLD.

COMP     CR              5,6                 NEW SUM TO OLD
