image/svg+xml DAS—Decimal Adjust AL after Subtraction Instruction Operand Encoding Description Adjusts the result of the subtraction of two packed BCD values to create a packed BCD result. The AL register is the implied source and destination operand. The DAS instruction is only useful when it follows a SUB instruction that subtracts (binary subtraction) one 2-digit, packed BCD value from another and stores a byte result in the AL register. The DAS instruction then adjusts the contents of the AL register to contain the correct 2-digit, packed BCD result. If a decimal borrow 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 (Borrow from AL := AL − 6); AF := 1; ELSE AF := 0; FI; IF ((old_AL > 99H) or (old_CF = 1)) THEN AL := AL − 60H; CF := 1; FI; FI; Example SUB AL, BL Before: AL = 35H, BL = 47H, EFLAGS(OSZAPC) = XXXXXX After: AL = EEH, BL = 47H, EFLAGS(0SZAPC) = 010111 DAABefore: AL = EEH, BL = 47H, EFLAGS(OSZAPC) = 010111 After: AL = 88H, BL = 47H, EFLAGS(0SZAPC) = X10111 Flags Affected The CF and AF flags are set if the adjustment of the value results in a decimal borrow in either digit of the result (see the “Operation” section above). The SF, ZF, and PF flags are set according to the result. The OF flag is unde- fined.
