The extended mnemonics for fixed-point compare instructions are shown in the following table. The input format of operands are different for POWER family and PowerPC. The L field for PowerPC supports 64-bit implementations. This field must have a value of 0 for 32-bit implementations. Since the POWER family architecture supports only 32-bit implementations, this field does not exist in POWER family. The assembler ensures that this bit is set to 0 for POWER family implementations. These extended mnemonics are in the com assembly mode.
