The following notation is used in the discussion of the effect each
instruction has on the processors’ status registers:
*
An asterisk indicates a bit in the status word that is changed by
the execution of the instruction.
–
A dash indicates that a bit is not affected by the instruction.
0 or 1
Indicates that a bit is unconditionally cleared or set.
For example, the status word ASTAT is shown below:
