Re: QPROCT and QPRODT

Below is the info for the ADDN instruction from the V6R1 Information Centre:

Resultant Conditions:

/snip

Positive - The algebraic value of the numeric scalar sum operand is
positive. 

Negative - The algebraic value of the numeric scalar sum operand is
negative. 

Zero - The algebraic value of the numeric scalar sum operand is zero. 

Unordered - The value assigned a floating-point sum operand is NaN.

/end-snip

I can't see the subtle difference you allude to - but that means very little
:-)

Ah, I see where you're coming from now.  I did not check the docs AFA what
indics are available from ADDN, or might have followed.  I am inclined to
agree with you, but now I wonder: is the documentation faulty or is the
fault with QPRCRTPG?  Or maybe neither: does the doc say that those are the
valid flags after ADDN, or does it say that those are the ones that may be
affected?  (See the subtle difference?)
