Abstract:
A perform floating-point operation instruction is executed specifying a Test (T) bit of general register 0, if the T bit is ‘1’ the execution sets a condition code value indicating whether a specified conversion function is installed, if the T bit is ‘0’ the execution stores a result of a specified floating-point conversion function in general register 0 and sets a condition code value.
