9.40.3.4 Instruction Formats
............................
The Principles of Operation manuals lists 26 instruction formats where
some of the formats have multiple variants. For the '.insn' pseudo
directive the assembler recognizes some of the formats. Typically, the
most general variant of the instruction format is used by the '.insn'
directive.
The following table lists the abbreviations used in the table of
instruction formats:
OpCode / OpCd Part of the op code.
Bx Base register number for operand x.
Dx Displacement for operand x.
DLx Displacement lower 12 bits for operand x.
DHx Displacement higher 8-bits for operand x.
Rx Register number for operand x.
Xx Index register number for operand x.
Ix Signed immediate for operand x.
Ux Unsigned immediate for operand x.
An instruction is two, four, or six bytes in length and must be
aligned on a 2 byte boundary. The first two bits of the instruction
specify the length of the instruction, 00 indicates a two byte
instruction, 01 and 10 indicates a four byte instruction, and 11
indicates a six byte instruction.
The following table lists the s390 instruction formats that are
available with the '.insn' pseudo directive:
