Commands of control transfer

Command: JMP operand
Purpose: Unconditional transition
Depending on transition type there distinguish:
transition of short type (short transition) — if transition address is ranging from -127 to +128 bytes form the JMP
command;
transition of near type (near transition) — if transition address is in the same segment as the JMP command;
transition of far type (far transition) — if transition address is in the other segment. Also far transition may be
executed in the same segment, if in segment part of operand there is a number, coinciding with the CS current
value;
transition with task switching — control transfer to other task in the multitask environment.

Command: Jcc label

Purpose: Conditional transition

Command: JCXZ label
Purpose: Transition, if CX = 0

Command: JECXZ label

Purpose: Transition, if ECX = 0

Command: LOOP label

Purpose: Loop

mov cx,0Ah
loop_start: add ax,cx
loop loop_start

The LOOP command is completely equivalent to the couple of

commands
