JA               Jump If Above                       Flags: not altered
 
JA short-label
 
          Jump Condition:   Jump if CF = 0 and ZF = 0
 
    Used after a CMP or SUB instruction, JA transfers control to short-
    label if the first operand (which should be unsigned) was greater than
    the second operand (also unsigned). The target of the jump must be
    within -128 to +127 bytes of the next instruction.

       Notes:         JNBE, Jump Not Below or Equal, is the same
                      instruction as JA.
 
                      JA, Jump on Above, should be used when comparing
                      unsigned numbers.
 
                      JG, Jump on Greater, should be used when comparing
                      signed numbers.
