Floating-point instructions HLASM Language Reference SC26-4940-06 |
|
Use floating-point instructions when you want to do arithmetic operations on data in the floating-point representation. Thus, you do not have to keep track of the decimal point in your computations. Floating-point instructions also let you do arithmetic operations on both large numbers and small numbers, normally providing greater precision than fixed-point decimal instructions. For further information, see "Floating-Point Instructions" in the z/Architecture Principles of Operation information. |
