The assembler syntax closely follows the syntax outlined in
Enterprise Systems Architecture/390 Principles of Operation (SA22-7201)
and the z/Architecture Principles of Operation (SA22-7832).
<p>Each instruction has two major parts, the instruction mnemonic
and the instruction operands. The instruction format varies.
