LIM - Limit Test
Instruction Type: input
The LIM instruction is used to test for values within or outside of a
specified range. The LIM instruction is evaluated based on the Low Limit,
Test, and High Limit values as shown in the following table.
The Low Limit, Test, and High Limit values can be word addresses or
constants, restricted to the following combinations:
• If the Test parameter is a constant, both the Low Limit and High
Limit parameters must be word or long word addresses.
