Decrement

Decrement an I or R type field.

DEC fn/v

Required - The name of the field being decremented. Must be of I or R type.

COMMENTS

This is the same as subtracting 1 from the field. For example:

EXAMPLE

define CNTR type I

DEC CNTR is // equivalent to: CNTR = CNTR - 1

This command provides a better method to subtract 1 from a field. This command also runs a little faster than the standard subtraction routine.
