Declare a Programmed Breakpoint in an Assembler Program

In Assembler you must use the CALL macro, coded so that the last parameter is marked as such, or coded without parameters. Because of the restrictions of the CALL macro, it is often practical not to code parameters. The breakpoint display shows the location of the programmed breakpoint and the contents of the registers.

If you do not include parameters in the CALL statement, a programmed breakpoint still occurs but data is not automatically displayed.
