Assembler Syntax
If
⏐Dg⏐ > ⏐Dh⏐, then Dg → Dh
MAXM Dg,Dh
If Dg == –Dh, then
⏐Dg⏐→ Dh
MAXM Dg,Dh
Compares the absolute values of a data register pair (Dg and Dh). If the absolute value of the first register
(Dg) is greater than the absolute value of the second (Dh), the value of the first register is written to the
second (Dh). Otherwise, the second register is unchanged. In case Dg and Dh have equal magnitudes but
opposite signs, the destination register Dh is written with the positive value.
