4.62 While Directive

The MPASM WHILE directive loops over a block of assembly code while some condition is true.

Suggested Replacement

There is no replacement for this directive, but the PIC Assembler's REPT directive performs a similar task.

The block of code following REPT and terminated by ENDM is output a number of times, based on the directive's argument.

The following example shows a shift instruction that will be performed 4 times.

REPT 4

ENDM
