AAS -- ASCII Adjust AL after Subtraction

AAS -- ASCII Adjust AL after Subtraction Opcode Instruction Clocks Description 3F AAS 4 ASCII adjust AL after subtraction Operation IF (AL AND 0FH) > 9 OR AF = 1 THEN AL = AL - 6; AL = AL AND 0FH; AH = AH - 1; AF = 1; CF = 1; ELSE CF = 0; AF = 0; FI; Description Execute AAS only after a SUB instruction that leaves the byte result in the AL register. The lower nibbles of the operands of the SUB instruction must have been in the range 0 through 9 (BCD digits). In this case, AAS adjusts AL so it contains the correct decimal digit result. If the subtraction produced a decimal carry, the AH register is decremented, and the carry and auxiliary carry flags are set to 1. If no decimal carry occurred, the carry and auxiliary carry flags are set to 0, and AH is unchanged. In either case, AL is left with its top nibble set to 0. To convert AL to an ASCII result, follow the AAS with OR AL, 30H. Flags Affected AF and CF as described above; OF, SF, ZF, and PF are undefined Protected Mode Exceptions None Real Address Mode Exceptions None Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions None
