Hi Peter, thanks for your response. Nice to hear from you :-)
They would be encoded quite differently. Say you'd encode the value seven. In LUV this would be 7.00000*10**0 In RUV this would be 000007*10**0 In either case the number of zero digits would depend on the format of the DFP: D/E/X For the sake of completeness: In LUV the digit 7 would go into the combination field In RUV the digit would be at the end of the significand. Unless I am quite mistaken, which is still quite conceivable :-( Kind regards, Abe === Op 05/03/2024 om 15:19 schreef Peter Relson: > I am imagining (and could easily be wrong) that the hex data is identical > across the views (and thus the instruction implementation does not care about > the view), and it's only a question of which bits you choose to look at (or > what arithmetic logical manipulation you use) if formatting the value for > human consumption. > > For example, the exponent differs, as does the significand (a term I had not > known of until seeing it in the POp). > > I don't know what kind of dump was being looked at, but perhaps there's a > formatting option within the dump viewing program that might say "show me > this as a Right-Unit View DFP value". > > Peter Relson > z/OS Core Technology Design
