Skip Instruction

Another common form of transfer-of-control instruction is the skip instruction. Generally, the skip imples that one instruction to be skipped; thus the implied address equals the address of the next instruction plus one instruction length. A typical example is the increment-and-skip-if-zero (ISZ) instruction. For example,

ISZ    R1

This instruction will increment the value of the register R1. If the result of the increment is zero, then it will skip the next instruction.
