Gene,

I can't thank you enough for your help. I'll let you know how I get along.

Best wishes,

Subject: Re: [MI400] QPROCT and QPRODT

I'm in the process of writing a routine to parse the
instruction stream component of an OPM program and
return the IRP. I'm hoping to use the information
within QPROCT and QPRODT to help my routine anticipate
the number of operands, operand types etc. for a given
op code. I've been able to determine the easy parts
(e.g. op code, op name, number of parameters) from a
part of the QPROCT space, but am at a loss as to what
an op code's associated entry in the QPRODT index is
telling me.

Can anyone throw some light on any of the information
contained in these two objects?

Many thanks.

Here is how to read those QPRODT index entries into your MI disassembler
project. Break each 94-byte index entry into two 2-byte chunks and fifteen
6-byte chunks, and PRINT them in this order:

00 01
02 03
04 05 06 07 08 09
0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F
10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 1A 1B
1C 1D 1E 1F 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 2A 2B 2C 2D
2E 2F 30 31 32 33
34 35 36 37 38 39
3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 3F
40 41 42 43 44 45
46 47 48 49 4A 4B
4C 4D 4E 4F 50 51
52 53 54 55 56 57
58 59 5A 5B 5C 5D

Study the PRINT-OUT this way, you'll have an Aha! moment and will see the
choice pool of operand types and lengths.
