Other Effects of Converting to Floating Point Mode
Switching from Integer mode (Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, or
Binary mode) into Floating-Point Decimal mode also sets the
following conditions:
e The word size is set to 56.
¢ The stack (except the X-register) and the LAST X register are
cleared. Stack lift is enabled.
e The storage registers are not cleared. However, an attempt to
recall register contents (including the Index register) that were
not stored in Floating Point mode usually will result in an
Error 6.*
