SUMMARY
The Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 5.1 and later provides a way to generate anonymous labels for jump instructions. To define the local label to be jumped to, use two at signs (@@) followed by a colon. The operand used in the jump instruction can be one of the following   @B (back) @F (forward) The @B will jump to the previous local label and the @F will jump to the next local label.



MORE INFORMATION
The fragment below illustrates this feature: cmp ax,cx jge @F .   .    . @@:    .    .    .    jle @B The jump to @F will jump to @@: and the jump to @B will jump back to the @@.
