Floating-point Math Instructions
Section 5-24
5-24-6 FLOATING-POINT SUBTRACT: –F(––)
Limitations
The Minuend (Mi+1 and Mi) and Subtrahend (Su+1 and Su) data must be in
IEEE754 floating-point data format.
DM 6143 to DM 6655 cannot be used for R.
Description
When the execution condition is OFF, –F(––) is not executed. When the exe-
cution condition is ON, –F(––) subtracts the 32-bit floating-point number in
Su+1 and Su from the 32-bit floating-point number in Mi+1 and Mi and places
the result in R+1 and R. (The floating point data must be in IEEE754 format.)
If the absolute value of the result is greater than the maximum value that can
be expressed as floating-point data, the Overflow Flag (SR 25404) will turn
ON and the result will be output as
±∞
.
If the absolute value of the result is less than the minimum value that can be
expressed as floating-point data, the Underflow Flag (SR 25405) will turn ON
and the result will be output as 0.
The various combinations of minuend and subtrahend data will produce the
results shown in the following table.
Note
1.
The results could be zero (including underflows), a numeral, +
∞
, or –
∞
.
2.
The Error Flag will be turned ON and the instruction won’t be executed.

ON if the minuend or subtrahend data is not recognized as floating-
point data.
