Description. The 24-bit mantissa of the Derived Operand, DO, i.e., the floating point number in registers RB and RB+1, is 2's complemented. The exponent remains unchanged. The result, the negative of the original number, is stored in RA and RA+1. The 2's complement of a floating point zero is a floating point zero. Exceptions to this are all powers of two: -1.0 x 2n and 0.5 x 2n-1, i.e., when the mantissa either 8000 0016 or 4000 0016. The negation of 0.5 x 2n is -1.0 x 2n-1, i.e., the mantissa is shifted left one position and the exponent decremented by one. Conversely, the negation of -1.0 x 2n is 0.5 x 2n-1; i.e., the mantissa is shifted right one position and the exponent is incremented by one. A floating point overflow occurs for the negation of the smallest negative number, -1.0 x 2127. A floating point underflow occurs for the negation of the smallest positive number, 0.5 x 2-128, and causes the result to be zero. The condition status, CS, is set based on the result in registers RA and RA+1.

Note: RA may equal RB.
