   call cond.,label		;conditional call

Allowed Instructions

   call label		;always calls
   
   call c,label		;calls if C flag is set
   call nc,label		;calls if C flag is reset
   
   call z,label		;calls if Z flag is set
   call nz,label		;calls if Z flag is reset
   
   call m,label		;calls if S flag is set
   call p,label		;calls if S flag is reset
