image/svg+xml DAA—Decimal Adjust AL after Addition Instruction Operand Encoding 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 addi- tion) 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. Operation IF 64-Bit Mode THEN #UD; ELSE old_AL := AL; old_CF := CF; CF := 0; IF (((AL AND 0FH) > 9) or AF = 1) THEN AL := AL + 6; CF := old_CF or (Carry from AL := AL + 6); AF := 1; ELSE AF := 0; FI; IF ((old_AL > 99H) or (old_CF = 1)) THEN AL := AL + 60H; CF := 1; ELSE CF := 0; FI; FI; Example ADD AL, BL Before: AL = 79H BL = 35H EFLAGS(OSZAPC) = XXXXXX After: AL = AEH BL = 35H EFLAGS(0SZAPC) = 110000 DAABefore: AL = AEH BL = 35H EFLAGS(OSZAPC) = 110000 After: AL = 14H BL = 35H EFLAGS(0SZAPC) = X00111 DAABefore: AL = 2EH BL = 35H EFLAGS(OSZAPC) = 110000 After: AL = 34H BL = 35H EFLAGS(0SZAPC) = X00101 OpcodeInstructionOp/ En 64-Bit Mode Compat/ Leg Mode Description 27DAAZOInvalidValidDecimal adjust AL after addition.
