MICROPROCESSOR INSTRUCTION REFERENCE->ASR

ASR    Arithmetic Shift Right

Destination shifted by <count> -> Destination


sign bit -> OPERAND     -> C
            -> X

Assembler Syntax:	ASR.L Dx,Dy
	ASR.L #<data>,Dy

Dx contains shift count
Immediate shift data may be 1 - 8

Size: Long

Arithmetically shifts the bits of the operand right.  The carry bit receives the last bit shifted out of the operand.

Condition Codes:

N    Set if most significant bit of result is set, else cleared
Z    Set if result zero, else cleared
V    Always cleared
C    Set according to last bit shifted out of operand, cleared for a shift count of zero
X    Set according to last bit shifted out of operand, unaffected by a shift count of zero
