Character Encoding • Storage Unit = byte • ASCII • ‘A’:41h …’Z’:5Ah; plus 20h for lower case • ‘0’:30h … ‘9’:39h • blank:20h; carriage return:0Dh; line feed:0Ah • EBCDIC • ‘A’:C1h … ‘I’:C9h; ‘J’:D1h …’R’:D9h; ‘S’:E2...‘Z’:E9h • subtract 40h for lower case • ‘0’:F0h … ‘9’:F9h • blank 40h
Basic Integer Numeric Forms • Storage Unit = word • Unsigned Binary • position numbers (starting at 0 on right) • position weights : 2position • 2’s Complement • subtract unsigned binary version of absolute value from 0 • (if working in binary) reverse bits and add 1
Standard Integer Numeric Flags • Zero • all bits in result word are 0 • may not be a “true” zero e.g. AAAh + 556h (12-bit word) would turn Zero “on” • Carry • result wrong (too large or less than zero) for unsigned binary • Sign • copy of left-most bit of result word • Overflow • result is wrong if treated as 2’s complement (result sign is logically impossible for given operand signs)
Basic Float Form : 32-bit IEEE-754 1 bit : sign (0=positive; 1=negative) 8 bits: excess-127 binary exponent 23 bits : normalized binary mantissa without leading 1.0
Hybrid Character-Numeric Forms (sign is always in right-most byte) • Zoned Decimal Fd Fd … FD sd • BCD • Packed Decimal (a form of BCD) dd dd … dd ds (always an odd number of digits) d: hex value in range 0 to 9 inclusive s: C (hex) positive (also accepts A, E, and F as positive) D (hex) negative (also accepts B as negative)
