Yes, I do believe you are correct.  

Checked a bit of old code for clearing an area and both source addr and
length are 0

Subject: Source address significance for clearing MVCL

I don't see this explicitly in the PoOp. Is my recollection correct? That
for a "pure clearing" MVCL (source length zero, destination length non-zero)
the contents of source address register R2 are not significant, and a
specification or access exception on the source address is not possible?

 

Thanks,

 

Charles Mills
