INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE, A-M
DAS—Decimal Adjust AL after Subtraction
DAS—Decimal Adjust AL after Subtraction
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.
