SEP (Set Status Bits) is a 65c816 instruction that sets bits in the status register that correspond to set bits in the operand.
SEP is the only way to set the m and x flags directly without disturbing the stack (but PLP and RTI may set them too.)[1] But, SEP can't modify those two flags in emulation mode because they are being forced to be set.
Syntax
SEP #%nvmxdizc
If you only want to set one flag, SED, SEI, or SEC are smaller/faster than SEP. Early 65c816 chips had a timing problem with SEP and REP which required a NOP to be inserted after them, or to stretch the clock.[5]
