Description. If the sign bit of the double precision Derived Operand, DO (i.e., the sign bit of register (RB,RB+1)), is a one, its negative or 2's complement is stored into register RA and RA+1, such that register RA contains the MSH of the result. However, if the sign bit of DO is a zero, it is stored, unchanged, into RA and RA+1. The condition status, CS, is set based on the result in register RA and RA+1.
Note: RA may equal RB.
Note: The absolute value of a number with a 1 in the sign bit and all other bits zero is the same word, and causes fixed point overflow to occur.
Register Transfer Description.

(CS) <-- 0010 if (RA,RA+1) = 0;
