Hello,

Look here and bookmark the page - you will use it regularly. . .

Search for slr in that manual (the flashlight/tubelight is the search).

SLR 0,0 /* equal "MOVE ZEROS TO REGISTER 0"
/* register0 = register0 - register0

SLR is a subtract instruction. It "moves" 0s to register 2 because the result of the subtraction is always 0. 4 - 4 = 0. There are other ways to do this, for example

L 2,=F'0'

This instruction really does "move" 0s to register 2.

The possible bad news about SLR is it alters the current condition code, which is not always desirable. The L instruction does not alter the condition code.
