Branch and Hang

Branch and Hang

(humour)(BRH) Originally a mythical instruction for the IBM 1130 at Indiana University.

Later some real examples were discovered. The Texas Instruments TI-980 allowed all addressing modes with allinstructions, including Store Immediate Extended (stores thevalue into the extension word of the instruction) and Branchand Link Immediate (makes a subroutine call to the sameinstruction -- Branch and Hang).

Compare HCF.
