     Warning: A5036
     Extra NOP inserted
 
     The assembler inserted a NOP to avoid a phase error. This
     situation is usually the result of a forward reference. For
     example, the following code causes the assembler to insert a NOP
     because too much space was reserved on the first pass:
 
     mov     bx,bib    ; First pass assumes 2-byte immediate operand bib
 bib =       1         ; Immediate operand is only 1-byte long, so second
                       ;   pass must insert a NOP
