! Operate Format

Operation:

temp = 0

CASE UNPKBL: BEGIN

temp<07:00> = Rbv<07:00> temp<39:32> = Rbv<15:08>

END

UNPKBW:

BEGIN

temp<07:00> = Rbv<07:00> temp<23:16> = Rbv<15:08> temp<39:32> = Rbv<23:16> temp<55:48> = Rbv<31:24>

END

ENDCASE Rc ← temp

Exceptions:
None
Instruction mnemonics:
UNPKBL	Unpack Bytes to Longwords
UNPKBW	Unpack Bytes to Words
Qualifiers:
None

Description:

For UNPKBL, the lower two component bytes of Rb are zero-extended to longwords. The resulting longwords are written to Rc.

For UNPKBW, the lower four component bytes of Rb are zero-extended to words. The result- ing words are written to Rc.
