Re: SMF, Assembler, s_float, l_float, float Examples
Caveat: I get the daily digest so responses are delayed... From the SMF book, I find the following lines in the preface/description for SMF 74 records: Notes: 1. All fields with format s_float have the type short format floating point. 2. All fields with format l_float have the type long format floating point. I presume you'll need to consult the PoOps manual for a more detailed description. Now, what to *do* with them, I can't help tho' I see that John's provided some advice in that respect. signature = 6 lines follows Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee “How *do* you plan for something like that?” Guardian Bob, Reboot “For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.” “Systems Programming: Guilty, until proven innocent” John Norgauer 2004 -Original Message- From: Dr Rick Williams [mailto:dr.ri...wil...@gma...com] Sent: July 25, 2013 15:39 Subject: SMF, Assembler, s_float, l_float, float Examples I have a prohram that prints some specific SMF data, that I use for charting graphing.

Re: SMF, Assembler, s_float, l_float, float Examples
You'll probably want to use the CFDR instruction to convert from floating point to fixed point. After that it would be a standard CVD and EDIT instructions to produce the printed result.

Re: SMF, Assembler, s_float, l_float, float Examples
I'm too lazy to all that work. I cheat (a lot). But my cheating does require that my HLASM code be LE enabled, or use CEEPIPI to establish an LE environment. I find the former to be easier. Once I do that, I can use the C subroutine SPRINTF to do my conversion from floating point to printable. Well, I don't actually do floating point. I do other conversions. The C calling sequence is a bit of a bother, but once learned, it is not too difficult to use. On more recent z machines (but I don't know what level) there is an HFP convert to fixed set of instructions. However, they round to an integer. So you'd need to scale the floating point by multiplying by an appropriate factor of 10 before doing the instruction. The instructions are CFER - short HFP to 32 bit integer CFDR - long HFP to 32 bit integer CFXR - extended HFP to 32 bit integer CGER - short HFP to 64 bit integer CGDR - long HFP to 64 bit integer CGXR - extended HFP to 64 bit integer These are all opcode gen_register,mask,float_register where mask specifies the rounding 0 - towards 0 1 - invalid 2 - invalid 3 - invalid 4 - to nearest, ties go towards zero 5 - to nearest, ties go towards even 6 - to +inf 7 - to -inf On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 2:38 PM, Dr Rick Williams dr.rick.willi...@gmail.com wrote: I have a prohram that prints some specific SMF data, that I use for charting graphing.
