SA23-1377-02

On direction, you specify the direction of reference through the array. Forward reference means instructions start with the element indicated by low_address and proceed through the range of data specified by size. Backward reference means the program starts processing the high-address end of the range specified by size and proceeds toward the low_address end.
  • "+1" indicates forward direction.
  • "-1" indicates backward direction.
An example of forward reference through ARRAY1 is specified as follows:
CSRIRP  with direction of +1

Using CSRIRP when a gap exists contains examples of forward and backward references when a gap exists.
