MOVE Instructions

■ MOVE Data from storage to storage


– Move SOURCE to TARGET – implied length of move is length of TARGET
MVC TARGET,SOURCE

– Move SOURCE to TARGET – length of move is LENGTH


MVC TARGET(LENGTH),SOURCE

– Move SOURCE to TARGET (with displacements) – length of move is LENGTH


MVC TARGDISP(LENGTH,TARG),DISP(SRC)

Defining Data

■ Define MYNUMBER as a fullword (32-bits) with initial value 0 – note that the label
MYNUMBER must start in column 1
MYNUMBER DC F'0'
■ Define MYNAME as a series of bytes with length 20 and initial value “hello” (space padded)
MYNAME DC CL20'hello'
■ Define MYNUMBER as 4 halfwords (16-bits each) with initial value 12 (each)
MYNUMBER DC 4H'12'
■ Define MYTOTAL as some uninitialised storage reserving a fullword (32-bits) for it
MYNUMBER DS F
■ Use a literal in an instruction to load value 4097 into register 1
L 1,=F'4097'

BRANCH Instructions

L 1,NUM1 LOAD VALUE NUM1 TO REG 1


L 2,NUM2 LOAD VALUE NUM2 TO REG 2
CR 1,2 COMPARE THE REGISTERS
BL ONE_LESS BRANCH IF REGISTER 1 < REGISTER 2
BG ONE_MORE BRANCH IF REGISTER 1 > REGISTER 2
BE ONE_EQUAL_TWO BRANCH IF REGISTER 1 = REGISTER 2

Arithmetic Instructions – Result normally ends up in 1st operand

■ ADD and SUBTRACT (Condition code is updated)


A 1,NUM ADD REGISTER 1 WITH NUM (32-BITS, SIGNED)
AR 1,2 AND REGISTER 1 WITH REGISTER 2 (32-BITS, SIGNED)
SL 1,NUM REGISTER_1 = REGISTER_1 - NUM (32-BITS, LOGICAL)
SLR 1,2 REGISTER_1 = REGISTER_1 – REGISTER_2
■ MULTIPLY (CC = unchanged)
MR 2,7 MULTIPLY 32-bits in REGISTER 3 by REGISTER 7
Result is stored as:
top 32-bits are in register 2
bottom 32-bits are in register 3
■ DIVIDE (CC = unchanged)
DR 2,7 DIVIDE 64-BITS IN REGISTERS 2 AND 3 BY REGISTER 7
Top 32-bits are in register 2, bottom 32-bits in register 3
Result is stored as:
Quotient is stored in register 3
Remainder is stored in register 2

BRANCH ON COUNT

* SAY “HELLO WORLD” 10 TIMES


L 1,LOOP_MAX LOAD LOOP_MAX(VALUE 10) INTO REG 1
LOOP DS 0H START OF THE LOOP
WTO 'HELLO WORLD' SAY HELLO WORLD
BCT 1,LOOP BRANCH TO LOOP IF REG 1 > 0
