Outline of operation
This instruction detects a termination character (null) from a string and acquires the number of
characters. Null characters are not included in the number of characters.
■
Processing
● Searches the length of the string specified by [S1].
● Searches NULL characters for the number of characters specified by [S2] (maximum string
length) from [S1], and stores the string length excluding NULL characters in [D] (result) when
NULL characters exist.
● When there is no NULL character within the maximum string length [S2], the CY (SR9) flag is
set, and the maximum string length is stored in the result [D].
● When a NULL character is found, the CY (SR9) flag is not cleared.
