DAS |
Decimal adjust AL after subtraction. |
Description |
---|
Adjusts the result of the subtraction of two packed BCD values to create a packed BCD result. The AL register is the implied source and destination operand. The DAS instruction is only useful when it follows a SUB instruction that subtracts (binary subtraction) one 2-digit, packed BCD value from another and stores a byte result in the AL register. The DAS instruction then adjusts the contents of the AL register to contain the correct 2-digit, packed BCD result. If a decimal borrow is detected, the CF and AF flags are set accordingly. |
Operation |
---|
OldAL = AL; OldCF = CF; CF = 0; if(AL & 0xF > 9 || AF == 1) { CF = OldCF | GetBorrow(AL = AL - 6); AF = 1; } else AF = 0; if(OldAL > 0x99 || OldCF == 1) { AL = AL - 0x60; CF = 1; } else CF = 0; |
Flags affected |
---|
The CF and AF flags are set if the adjustment of the value results in a decimal borrow in either digit of the result (see the "Operations" section above). The SF, ZF, and PF flags are set according to the result. The OF flag is undefined. |
Exceptions |
---|
None. |
