Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation (MIDR and MIDRP)
" +1" characters are extracted leftward from the position specified by of the character string data stored
in and later, and stored to and later.
When characters are extracted from a character string, "00H" is automatically added at the end of the extracted
characters.
- When the number of extracted characters specified by +1 is odd, "00H" is stored in the high-order byte of
a device storing the last character.
- When the number of extracted characters specified by +1 is even, "0000H" is stored in the device after the
last character.
• A character string stored in and later indicates data stored in devices from the specified device until “00H” is
first detected in units of byte.
• When the number of characters to be extracted specified by +1 is “0”, the extraction processing is not
executed.
• When the number of characters to be extracted specified by +1 is “-1”, the entire character string stored in
and later is stored to and later.
Cautions
When handling character codes other than ASCII codes, note the following contents:
• The number of characters is handled in byte units (8 bits). Accordingly, in the case of character codes in which 2
bytes express 1 character such as shift JIS code, the length of 1 character is regarded as 2 characters.
• When extracting characters from a character string including character codes in which 2 bytes express 1 character
such as shift JIS codes, consider the number of characters to be extracted in units of character codes for 1
character.
Note that the expected character code is not given if only 1 byte is executed out of a 2-byte character code.
