INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE, A-M
DAA—Decimal Adjust AL after Addition
DAA—Decimal Adjust AL after Addition
Description
Adjusts the sum of two packed BCD values to create a packed BCD result. The AL
register is the implied source and destination operand. The DAA instruction is only
useful when it follows an ADD instruction that adds (binary addition) two 2-digit,
packed BCD values and stores a byte result in the AL register. The DAA instruction
then adjusts the contents of the AL register to contain the correct 2-digit, packed
BCD result. If a decimal carry is detected, the CF and AF flags are set accordingly.
This instruction executes as described above in compatibility mode and legacy mode.
It is not valid in 64-bit mode.
