Before changing an instruction with OPSYN, you should create a new name for the original instruction, so that you can use OPSYN again later to restore the original instruction using that name.
_L OPSYN L Save original definition L OPSYN MY_L Create my own definition ... L OPSYN _L Restore original definition The new name can also be used in the case where a macro defined with OPSYN needs to intercept an instruction but may need to reissue it unchanged, for example like IEABRC.
