TCALL (Table CALl) is an SPC700 instruction that calls a subroutine whose 16-bit address is stored in the uppermost page. The low byte of the address of the vector (pointer to subroutine) is a function of the high nybble of the opcode, equal to $DE - n*2. The high byte of the vector address is always $FF.

No flags are affected.

Syntax

TCALL n

where n is the vector call number, a decimal integer from 0 to 15, which becomes the high nybble of the opcode.
