What am I missing? Isn't PLO Function Codes 16-19 (Compare and Swap and Double 
Store) updating three locations?

Direct out of the "Principle of Operations":

The first-operand comparison value is compared
to the second operand. When the first-operand
comparison value is equal to the second operand,
the first-operand replacement value is stored at
the second-operand location, the third operand is
stored at the fourth-operand location, the fifth
operand is stored at the sixth-operand location,
and condition code 0 is set.

I see three stores in the above text. I've been using this successfully for a 
while updating two different locations, but now I want to update three and do 
not see a need to "Compare and Swap and Triple Store".
