Processing details
• These instructions transfer the character string data specified by (s) to the device specified by (d) and later. A character
string enclosed with double quotation marks and specified by (s) or stored in the devices from the device specified by (s) to
the device storing 00H is transferred in a batch.

(s)+1 4th character
(s)+2 6th character
(s)+n
00H
• Even though the device range of the data to be transferred (s) to (s)+n and the device range for storing the transferred data
(d) to (d)+n overlap, the processing is performed normally. For example, when a character string stored in D10 to D13 is
transferred to D11 to D14, the transfer is executed as shown below:
b15 b8 b7
D10 32H (2) 31H (1)
D11 34H (4) 33H (3)
36H (6) 35H (5)
D12
0000H
D13
D14
• When "00H" is stored in the lower byte of (s)+n, "00H" is stored to both the upper byte and lower byte of (d)+n.
b15 b8 b7
(s) 42H (B) 41H (A)
(s)+1
44H (D) 43H (C)
(s)+2 45H (E) 00H
The high-order byte is not transferred.
