S-9.2.1 Decoder Control Bit Definition Confusing #42

Open bakerstu opened 3 years ago

bakerstu commented 3 years ago

This applies to the July 2012 approved version of this document.

Line 108 defines instruction bytes: 0000CCCF or 0000CCCF DDDDDDDD

In the following text, it appears that what is supposed to be the single bit F (on line 108) is actually referred to as D, potentially confusing it with the DDDDDDDD 8-bit value. This would be in lines 114, 120, and 131.

Several readers have found this to be confusing. Suggest clarifying this in a future revision. One possible fix would be to replace 'D' with 'F' on lines 114, 120, and 131, however, other solutions could also be considered.
