Answer / sanjeev mohindra
ICM means INsert character under mask. its a movement of character under mask bits
eg
ICM R8,B'0110',SRC
Before execution:
R8 ==> 12 34 56 78
SRC ==> AB CD EF 10
After Excecution:
R8 ==> 12 AB CD 78

What about it? Loads selected bytes of a register selected
by a mask (leaves other bytes alone).

Answer / mohit neb
ICM stands for Insert Character under Mask. Operand 1 is a register, operand 2 is a 4-bit binary mask ( eg - B'1000' or the number 8) and operand 3 is a fullword in memory.
The important point is that contiguous memory bytes from the fullword (operand 3) are copied into selected bytes of the register (operand 1). The second operand say B'1100' does that selection. So a mask of B'1010' would insert two contiguous memory bytes from operand 3 to byte one and three of the operand 1 register.
Example :-
ICM 5,B'1010',FIELD
The above instruction would insert two contiguous bytes starting from FIELD into the first and the third byte of R5.
OBJECT CODE :- ( 4 Byte RS Instruction )
1 byte - OP Code
Next 1 byte - 4 bits for teh register and the other 4 for
the binary mask.
Next 2 bytes for operand 3 - B2D2D2D2

How to initialize 20,000 bytes in the Assembler..
how do you round the addition or subtraction of two numbers in assembler? what does the following code do? change process tool(code changes from dev to prd) the changes made to your code should be effected in live. How the process takes place. That is how can you move the code changes from development to production?
