Hi All,
I got one statement in my assembler program as
XYZ DS FD
Can anyone tell me what is meaning of FD and how many bytes this will take for storage. |

You can generate the length by specifying -
=A(L'XYZ) can then be found in the LTORG as a fullword.
I've never used an FD directive, so I'm unsure of its length.

It seems to be an aligned-doubleword, but you can give it a constant in decimal-format, like a fullword. EG:
| Code: |
Y2KSECS DC FD'3155673600' 2000/01/01 IN SECONDS
QUADWRD DS L ALIGNED-QUADWORD
|
You can then use this in 64-Bit instructionS (EG: Load Grande and Convert to Decimal Grande) -
| Code: |
LG R15,Y2KSECS LOAD 64-BIT REGISTER
CVDG R15,QUADWRD MAKE IT 16-BYTES DECIMAL
