JG               Jump If Greater                     Flags: not altered

JG short-label

          Jump Condition:  Jump if ZF = 0 and SF = OF

    Used after a CMP or SUB instruction, JG transfers control to short-
    label if the first operand is greater than the second. (Both operands
    are treated as signed numbers.)  The target of the jump must be within
    -128 to +127 bytes of the next instruction.

       Notes:         JNLE, Jump if Not Less or Equal, is the same
                      instruction as JG.

                      JA, Jump if Above, should be used when comparing
                      unsigned numbers.

                      JG, Jump if Greater, should be used when comparing
                      signed numbers.
