The IBM Debug Tool data sheet says: Display and alteration of 64-bit general purpose registers in assembler expressions is provided on hardware that supports 64-bit addressing. Debug Tool correctly displays data items according to type, including three floating-point data types: binary (IEEE), decimal and hexadecimal. (and does a whole lot more...) go see: ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/htp/pdtools/info/DatasheetDT.pdf http://www.ibm.com/software/products/en/debugtool/ Sharuff [email protected]
