The Or Register instruction performs a logical bit by bit “or” between two registers. Operand 1, the target, is a register and Operand 2, the source, also specifies a register. The fullword in Operand 1 is or-ed internally with the fullword in Operand 2, and the result is placed in Operand 1. The table below shows the results of “or-ing” two bits together.

Bit 1 Bit 2 Result

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 1

This instruction sets the condition code as follows:

0 if all target bits are set to 0. Test this condition with BZ or BNZ.

1 if any target bit is set to 1. Test this condition with BM or BNM.
