#43507 - RE: Is there a non-unique label directive?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I have seen people spend MANY hours debugging code because of code that didn't brach where they thought it was branching. For this reason I highly discourage people from using what are called "local labels". And this an also be said for those that insist on writing code such as "JMP $+5".

These seemingly simple shortcuts come back to bite you more often than you think.

I recommend that you take the time to use unique labels for everything. The work required is nearly trivial and it gives you pause to study the code in the editor one additional time where many bugs are caught before you ever assemble the code.
