General Description

This instruction is used to determine the relative magnitude of two operands of equal length. The resulting PR1

settings permit alternate sequence of action.

Format

Operation —Y

— Number (0-44) characters to be compared. (See Appendix F-I.)

A Address — HSM address of leftmost character of first operand.

B Address — HSM address of leftmost character of second operand.

Direction of Operation

Left to right.

Outline of Operation

This instruction initially sets PRZ and operates in the following cycles:

The contents of the N Register are examined. If zero, the instruction terminates. If other than zero, the contents

of the HSM locations specified by the A and B Registers are transferred to the D

and D

positions of the D

and D

are compared. If the contents of D

are greater than the contents of D

(

, PRP is set, and the instruction terminates.

If the contents of D, are greater than the contents of D

, PRN is set, and the instruction terminates. If the contents

of D. equal the contents of D„ the contents of the N Register are decremented by one, and the cycle is repeated.

Final Register Contents

(A)

= Address of location one to the right of the last character compared in first operand.

(B)

= Address of location one to the right of the last character compared in second operand.

PRI

PRI set according to outline of operation.
