The OPSKIP Command [MLEPC]

The OPSKIP command is used to provide a means by which certain blocks of data may be ignored or skipped over by the control. This command is valid for all machine types but may not be available on a specific machine.

\textbf{OPSKIP /} \begin{pmatrix}\begin{array}{l} \textbf{ON} \\ \textbf{OFF} \end{array}\end{pmatrix} \;
{\small \sim}\!\big[,\mathit{level}\,\big]

If the block DELETE selector switch on the control panel is in the DELETE position, a special symbol, inserted at the beginning of certain command blocks, causes those blocks to be skipped over by the control. The insertion of this special symbol can be controlled by the programmer. The OPSKIP/ON command will cause all subsequent command blocks to be preceded by this symbol until an OPSKIP/OFF command is programmed.

The level parameter may only be specified if the machine supports multiple levels as specified in the OPSKIP section of QUEST. Up to nine levels of OPSKIP may be output on a line at a given time, depending on controller limitations.
