Description

This instruction conditionally adjusts the Accumulator for BCD addition and subtraction operations. For addition (ADD, ADC, INC) or subtraction (SUB, SBC, DEC, NEG), the following table indicates the operation being performed:


Operation	C before DAA	Hex Value In Upper Digit (Bits 7–4)	H Before DAA	Hex Value In Lower Digit (Bits 3–0)	Number Added To Byte	C After DAA
	0	9-0	0	0-9	00	0
	0	0-8	0	A-F	06	0
	0	0-9	1	0-3	06	0
ADD	0	A-F	0	0-9	60	1
ADC	0	9-F	0	A-F	66	1
INC	0	A-F	1	0-3	66	1
	1	0-2	0	0-9	60	1
	1	0-2	0	A-F	66	1
	1	0-3	1	0-3	66	1
SUB	0	0-9	0	0-9	00	0
SBC	0	0-8	1	6-F	FA	0
DEC	1	7-F	0	0-9	A0	1
NEG	1	6-7	1	6-F	9A	1

Condition Bits Affected

S is set if most-significant bit of the Accumulator is 1 after an operation; otherwise, it is reset.
Z is set if the Accumulator is 0 after an operation; otherwise, it is reset.
H: see the DAA instruction table on the previous page.P/V is set if the Accumulator is at even parity after an operation; otherwise, it is reset.
N is not affected.
C: see the DAA instruction table above.

Example

An addition operation is performed between 15 (BCD) and 27 (BCD); simple decimal arithmetic provides the following result:

	15
+	27
	42

The binary representations are added in the Accumulator according to standard binary

arithmetic, as follows:

	0001	0101
+	0010	0111
	0011	1100	= 3C

The sum is ambiguous. The DAA instruction adjusts this result so that the correct BCD representation is obtained, as follows:

	0011	1100
+	0000	0110
	0100	0010	= 42
