REP (Reset Status Bits) is a 65c816 instruction that clears bits in the status register that correspond to set bits in the operand.

REP is the only way to clear the m and x flags directly without disturbing the stack (but PLP and RTI may clear them too.)[1] But, REP can't clear those two flags in emulation mode because they are being forced to be set.

Syntax

REP #%nvmxdizc

If you only want to clear one flag, CLC, CLV, CLD, and CLI are smaller/faster than REP. Early 65c816 chips had a timing problem with REP and SEP which required a NOP to be inserted after them, or to stretch the clock.[5]
