Purpose:

To calculate the address of a quantity

Format:

opcode src.ax, dst.wl

Operation:

dst <- src;

Condition
Codes:

N <- dst LSS 0;
Z <- dst EQL 0;
V <- 0;
C <- C;

Exceptions:

None

Opcodes:

9E	MOVAB	Move Address Byte
3E	MOVAW	Move Address Word
DE	MOVAL	Move Address Long
7E	MOVAQ	Move Address Quad
DE	MOVAF	Move Address Float
7E	MOVAD	Move Address Double

Description:

The destination operand is replaced by the source operand which is an address. The context in which the source operand is evaluated is given by the data type of the instruction. The source operand, whose address replaces the destination operand, is not referenced. The source operand is unaffected.

Notes:

1.: The source operand is of address access type which causes the address of the specified operand to be moved
