What is the use of TRT instruction and how it is working?

Answer Posted / senthil kumar m

TRT is used to scan a string of characters, searching
for the occurrence of any the characters which are
specified in a translate table.


TRT also sets the condition code to indicate the results
of the scanning operation as follows:

Condition Code Indications

0 ( Zero ) All function bytes
encountered were X’00’.
1 ( Minus ) A nonzero function byte
was found before the end of operand 1
2 ( Positive ) A nonzero function byte
was found at the end of the operand 1

The condition code can be tested using BZ, BNZ, BM, BNM,
BP, or BNP.

What is house keeping in assembler?

In the house keeping section of an MVS assembly language program, like the one below STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 USING *,R12,R11 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) .... .... 1. What if BASR R12,R0 IS NOT PRECEDE USING *,R12,R11? 2. USING (base address), REGISTER does USING directive says assembler to treat particular Register as a base register with the mentioned base address..in the above case * i.e current location counter..well if that is the case why we need BASR R12,R0 ? 3. What if I write like STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) USING *,R12,R11 there is no address resolution being calculated in both LA statements so is it a right way to set Base register?..will there be any issues with Domain regarding R11 and R12?
