HP C/XL MOVEBW Function: Move Bytes While
/**************************************************************
MOVEBW SPL MOVE BYTES WHILE
This emulates the MOVE while statement in SPL
MOVE B1 := B2, WHILE A, 0;
@S1 := tos;
@D1 := tos;
which may be converted to C with:
LEN := MOVEBW(B1,B2,A,0,&S1,&D1);
The parameters to moveb are:
to -- The address to be moved into.
from -- The address to be moved from.
cond -- The move while condition, where:
A means alphabetic
AN means alphanumeric
AS means alphabetic, upshift
N means numeric
ANS means alphanumeric, upshift
sdec -- The SPL stack decrement. In this context, the
value of this parameter will determine if
the function accesses the last two
parameters, as follows:
sdec = 3 -- Ignore the last two parameters
(in SPL, this is the default
case, deleting 3 stack words).
sdec = 2 -- Expect only one parameter
after this, dest_addr.
sdec = 1 -- Expect two parameters after
this, dest_addr and source_addr.
sdec = 0 -- Same as 1. This is not a
meaningful operation in SPL,
as the TOS, or count value,
is always zero after the MOVE
instruction.
source_addr -- The address of the next char of from beyond
the final character moved.
dest_addr -- The address of the char of from beyond the
final character moved.
The return value of the function is the number of bytes moved.
