    The document discusses loading multiple base registers in assembly code. It explains that the USING directive tells the assembler which registers to use for base/displacement addressing and that base registers must be loaded with the correct address before using USING. Loading multiple registers correctly involves using BASR to load the first register followed by USING and then using LA to load subsequent registers based on the prior registers.

    Loading Multiple Base Registers

    Programmer Responsibilities
    • Tell the assembler which registers to choose
    when creating base/displacement addresses
    X DS CL5 ==> C008 (BDDD)
    Do this with USING:
    USING *,R12
    • Load the base register with the correct
    address
    Loading a Single Register
    Address
    X‘1000’ BASR R12,R0
    USING *,R12
    X’1002’ ...
    Why is this Incorrect?
    Address
    USING *,R12
    X’1000’ BASR R12,R0
    X’1002’ ...
    Loading Multiple Registers
    Address
    X‘1000’ BASR R12,R0
    USING *,R12,R11,R10
    X’1002’ LA R10,2048
    LA R11,2048(R12,R10)
    LA R10,2048(R11,R10)

    Remember that X’1000’ = 4096


    X’800’ = 2048
    Direction
    • It would be helpful to understand the terms
    Domain and Range as they relate to USINGs.
    • Also, read about the DROP directive
