Setting the Program Counter to a Specific Line

You can set the program counter to a specific code line. This is useful to jump over sections of code, leaving them unprocessed, or repeat the execution of sections of code.

To set the program counter to a specific line:

  1. In the Source window or the Assembler window, right-click a line of code that contains a blue dot or a selected expression.

    The line pointer is set to this line, and the pop-up menu of the window appears.

  2. Select Set Current Location.

    The program counter is set to the line marked by the line pointer, that is, the execution will continue by processing this line.
