Table A-5 defines the variables that are used in Table A-6 to represent the instruction operands.

Table A-5. Operand Variables

Variable		Description
aa	A 2-bit field within an opcode that selects the basic addressing mode used. This field is present
	only in those opcodes that allow addressing mode options. The field is encoded as follows:
	00 register-direct	01 immediate	10 indirect	11 indexed
baop	A byte operand that is addressed by any addressing mode.
bbb	A 3-bit field within an opcode that selects a specific bit within a register.
bitno	A 3-bit field within an opcode that selects one of the eight bits in a byte.
breg	A byte register in the internal register file. When it could be unclear whether this variable refers
	to a source or a destination register, it is prefixed with an S or a D. The value must be in the
	range of 00–FFH.
cadd	An address in the program code.
Dbreg†	A byte register in the lower register file that serves as the destination of the instruction
	operation.
disp	Displacement. The distance between the end of an instruction and the target label.
Dlreg†	A 32-bit register in the lower register file that serves as the destination of the instruction
	operation. Must be aligned on an address that is evenly divisible by 4. The value must be in the
	range of 00–FCH.
Dwreg†	A word register in the lower register file that serves as the destination of the instruction
	operation. Must be aligned on an address that is evenly divisible by 2. The value must be in the
	range of 00–FEH.
lreg	A 32-bit register in the lower register file. Must be aligned on an address that is evenly divisible
	by 4. The value must be in the range of 00–FCH.
preg	A pointer register. Must be aligned on an address that is evenly divisible by 4. The value must
	be in the range of 00–FCH.
Sbreg†	A byte register in the lower register file that serves as the source of the instruction operation.
Slreg†	A 32-bit register in the lower register file that serves as the source of the instruction operation.
	Must be aligned on an address that is evenly divisible by 4. The value must be in the range of
	00–FCH.
Swreg†	A word register in the lower register file that serves as the source of the instruction operation.
	Must be aligned on an address that is evenly divisible by 2. The value must be in the range of
	00–FEH.
waop	A word operand that is addressed by any addressing mode.
w2_reg	A double-word register in the lower register file. Must be aligned on an address that is evenly
	divisible by 4. The value must be in the range of 00–FCH. Although w2_reg is similar to lreg,
	there is a distinction: w2_reg consists of two halves, each containing a 16-bit address; lreg is
	indivisible and contains a 32-bit number.
wreg	A word register in the lower register file. When it could be unclear whether this variable refers
	to a source or a destination register, it is prefixed with an S or a D. Must be aligned on an
	address that is evenly divisible by 2. The value must be in the range of 00–FEH.
xxx	The three high-order bits of displacement.

†The D or S prefix is used only when it could be unclear whether a variable refers to a destination or a source register.
