1.2.19 BCD CONVERSION Instruction (BCD)
„ Outline
The BCD instruction converts a binary value in the Source into a BCD value (BCD conver-
sion) and the result is stored in the Dest. If the 4 - digit decimal value in the Source is abcd,
the output value (Dest) of the BCD instruction can be determined by the following formula:
Dest
= (a × 4096) + (b × 256) + (c × 16) + d
Although the above formula is applicable even if the value in the Source cannot be
expressed in BCD notation (e.g. numbers greater than 9999 or negative numbers), correct
results are obtained in such cases.
