DMC-1400 Series Command Reference JP ● 117
JP
FUNCTION: Jump to Program Location
DESCRIPTION:
The JP command causes a jump to a program location on a specified condition. The program
location may be any program line number or label. The condition is a conditional
statement which uses a logical operator such as equal to or less than. A jump is taken if
the specified condition is true.
Multiple conditions can be used in a single jump statement. The conditional statements are
combined in pairs using the operands “&” and “|”. The “&” operand between any two
conditions requires that both statements must be true for the combined statement to be
true. The ”|” operand between any two conditions requires that only one statement be
true for the combined statement to be true. Note: Each condition must be placed in
parenthesis for proper evaluation by the controller.

HINT: JP is similar to an IF, THEN command. Text to the right of the comma is the condition that
must be met for a jump to occur. The destination is the specified label before the comma.
