For those needing something to think about.... In the description of the TRTE and TRTRE instructions in the POP, there's a table giving the expected length of the function-code table for various combinations of the three bits named A, F, and L in the M3 mask field. Your exercise:
Suppose the three symbols A, F, and L in the M3 mask have been defined as absolute symbols with values 0 or 1. Suppose also that you must reserve space for a function-code table with size depending on the values of A, F, and L, as illustrated in the POP table. Write an EQU statement defining a symbol TL that will contain the length of the reserved area for the table, for all combinations of values of A, F, and L. As Tony Harminc says, "Have fun..." (it can be done). Regards... John --------------------- 555 Bailey Ave, San Jose CA 95141 USA +1-408-463-3543 (fax -3873) TIE 543- [email protected]; VMID = EHRMAN at STLVM27
