Did you look in chapter 26? ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List <[email protected]> on behalf of John Ganci <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2023 12:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: How to enter tiny Binary Floating-Point value
The latest Principles of Operation, SA22-7832-13, Chapter 19, describes the binary floating-point instructions. Page 19-2 describes the 4 BFP data formats: tiny, short, long, and extended. The tiny format is new. John Ehrman's assembler book and the latest HLASM Language Reference manual I could find (SC26-4940-09), only discuss BFP short, long and extended. Is there a newer Language Reference manual that describes how to enter tiny BFP values? I also did not see any instructions in the Principles of Operation that use tiny BFP. Did I miss something?
