Instruction Operand Notation shows the notation for instruction operands. The notation format is as follows: <name>.<access type><data type> Table 12 Instruction Operand Notation <name>: disp Displacement field fnc PALcode function field Ra Integer register operand in the Ra field Rb Integer register operand in the Rb field #b Integer literal operand in the Rb field Rc Integer register operand in the Rc field Fa Floating-point register operand in the Ra field Fb Floating-point register operand in the Rb field Fc Floating-point register operand in the Rc field <access type>: a The operand is used in an address calculation to form an effective address. The data-type code that follows indicates the units of addressability (or scale factor) applied to this operand when the instruction is decoded. i The operand is an immediate literal. m The operand is both read and written. r The operand is read only. w The operand is write only. <data type>: b Byte f F_floating g G_floating l Longword q Quadword s IEEE single floating (S_floating) t IEEE double floating (T_floating) w Word x The data type is specified by the instruction.
