BINARY ARITHMETIC INSTRUCTIONS
In the two binary arithmetic instructions, Add Binary
and Subtract Binary, the length of both operands is
controlled by the length of the first.
As in decimal arithmetic operations,
if
the operands
are unequal, the second operand is truncated, if
longer, or, is extended with zero-value bytes, if
shorter.
Both instructions operate from right to left.
The
instruction is terminated when the left-end byte has
been processed.
The Condition Code Indicator is set based on the
result as follows:

Example:
Assume an input tape that contains a block of five
SO-character records.
For processing, the programmer moves each record
to a separate processing area. The Add Binary in-
struction increments the second address of the in-
struction that moves a record to the processing area.
The Subtract Binary instruction, with a branch to
read if the input area has been exhausted, is used to
determine when the last record is processed.
The Input Block, Record Processing, and constant
areas could be allocated as follows:
