Why can only 256 bytes be moved from one address to another
in a MVC?

Answer Posted / roocarlin

the length of the MVC instruction itself is 6, one byte for the opcode, one byte for the length of the move-data, 2 bytes for base-displacement of the receiving field, and 2 bytes for the base-displacement of the sending field. since the length field in the MVC instruction is 1 byte, the values can be 0 to 255, thus you would be moving 1 to 256 bytes.
