4.10 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 ( Page 407, Section 4.10.1):
The pointer used independently in each program
• Common pointer ( Page 409, Section 4.10.2):
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.
For the jump instructions and subroutine call instructions, refer to the following.
