Notes

Which commands to skip is determined by the COMMANDS and THROUGH parameters. These parameters are mutually exclusive:
- The COMMANDS parameter skips either a specified number of merger commands (<nn>) or all remaining commands (ALL) in the device user source.
- The THROUGH parameter specifies the label that delimits the end of the group of commands to be skipped. The label is defined by the MARK merger command, which must appear after the SKIP command. If the label is not unique, the first occurrence is used.
When to skip a group of commands is determined by the LAST and IF parameters.
- The LAST parameter specifies whether the SKIP command action depends on the result of the previous FIND (line search within entire generated extent) or SCAN (column search within the current line) command. FIND is the default.
- The IF command specifies whether the SKIP command action depends on the success or failure of the command identified by the LAST parameter.
Possible results are:

Value	FIND	SCAN
FAILED	SKIP the specified commands if the TEXT value was not found in the current extent in the generated source.	SKIP the specified commands if the FOR value was not found on the current line.
SUCCESSFUL	SKIP the specified commands if the TEXT value was found in the current extent in the generated source.	SKIP the specified commands if the FOR value was found on the current line.

Full-line comments are not counted while skipping.
Inserted data lines are considered as part of the preceding merger command and are not independently counted.
