RS
D-R Exchange
The instruction "RS" directs the computer to exchange the contents of D (both D and d
registers) with the contents of the R register. The setting of the Decimal Wheel has no effect
on this operation. This instruction has a special use in the following cases exclusively:
• In multicard programs, to temporarily store the contents of the D (d,D) register in R, when
a new card has to be read to continue the program. During this temporary storage no
instruction affecting the R register can be executed.
