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 (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.
