<h4 class="subsubsection">9.37.3.4 Instruction Formats</h4>
<a name="index-instruction-formats_002c-s390"></a>
<a name="index-s390-instruction-formats"></a>
<p>The Principles of Operation manuals lists 26 instruction formats where
some of the formats have multiple variants. For the &lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo;
pseudo directive the assembler recognizes some of the formats.
Typically, the most general variant of the instruction format is used
by the &lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo; directive.
</p>
<p>The following table lists the abbreviations used in the table of
instruction formats:
</p>
<div class="display">
<table>
<tr><td><pre class="display">OpCode / OpCd</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Part of the op code.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">Bx</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Base register number for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">Dx</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Displacement for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">DLx</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Displacement lower 12 bits for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">DHx</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Displacement higher 8-bits for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">Rx</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Register number for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">Xx</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Index register number for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">Ix</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Signed immediate for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="display">Ux</pre></td><td><pre class="display">Unsigned immediate for operand x.</pre></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>An instruction is two, four, or six bytes in length and must be aligned
on a 2 byte boundary. The first two bits of the instruction specify the
length of the instruction, 00 indicates a two byte instruction, 01 and 10
indicates a four byte instruction, and 11 indicates a six byte instruction.
</p>
<p>The following table lists the s390 instruction formats that are available
with the &lsquo;<samp>.insn</samp>&rsquo; pseudo directive:
