    816:      L1Z
  gr1504=#BIT_@2OLshd.pbrudi9D<id804:d0:l1>(gr1501,0)
  2951,49726,49704
      0:      DIRCTIV   issue_cycle,6,1009
  49726,56279,2951
      0:      DIRCTIV   issue_cycle,5,1
  56279,2948,49726
    813:      L8
  *gr1503=(__uAB_TYPE).pbagXXX@0.rns95.(gr3,0)    2948,2949,56279
    813:      ST8       @2OLshd.pbrudi9D(gr1501,0)=gr1503
