4.8.3 BCD (Binary Coded Decimal)
(1) BCD notation
BCD notation is binary expression with a carry similar to that of the decimal
notation.
Though it uses 4-bit representation like hexadecimal notation, it dose not use
letters A to F.
Table 4.4 gives numeric expressions by binary, BCD, and decimal notations.

(2) BCD numeric expression
High Performance model QCPU registers (data registers, link registers, etc.)
consist of 16 bits.
Therefore, the numeric values expressed in BCD notation can be stored in each
register within 0 to 9999 range.
