Description. The integer portion of the floating point Derived Operand, DO (i.e., the contents of registers RB and RB+1), is stored into register RA. If the actual value of the DO floating point exponent is greater than 0F16, then RA remains unchanged and a fixed point overflow occurs. The condition status, CS, is set based on the result in RA.

Note: The algorithm truncates toward zero.

Register Transfer Description.

PI4 <-- 1, exit, if EO > 0F 16;
(RA) <-- Integer portion of DO;
(CS) <-- 0010  if (RA) = 0;
(CS) <-- 0001  if (RA) < 0;
(CS) <-- 0100  if (RA) > 0;
