Comparison Instructions
Section 3-7
Description The time comparison instruction compares the unmasked values (corre-
sponding bit of C set to 0) of the present time data in S
1
to S
1
+2 with the com-
parison time data in S
2
to S
2
+2 and creates an ON execution condition when
the comparison condition is true. At the same time, the result of a time com-
parison instruction is reflected in the arithmetic flags (=, <>, <, <=, >, >=).
There are 18 possible combinations of time comparison instructions.
Any time values that are masked in the control word (C) are not included in
the comparison.
The following table shows the ON/OFF status of each flag for each compari-
son result.
Masking Time Values
Time values can be masked individually and excluded from the comparison
operation. To mask a time value, set the corresponding bit in the control word
(C) to 1. Bits 00 to 05 of C mask the seconds, minutes, hours, day, month, and
year, respectively.
Example:
When C = 39 hex, the rightmost 6 bits are 111001 (year=1, month=1, day=1,
hours=0, minutes=0, and seconds=1) so only the hours and minutes are com-
pared. This mask setting can be used to perform a particular operation at a
given time (hour and minute) each day.
