=
The calculator command.
Calculates the value of an expression and displays the result in the
specified base.
Syntax
= expression [base]
Parameters
expression The expression to evaluate.
base The desired representation mode for output values:
% or octal Octal representation
# or decimal Decimal representation
$ or hexadecimal Hexadecimal representation
ASCII ASCII representation
This parameter can be abbreviated to a single character.
If omitted, the current output base is used. Refer to
the SET command to change the current output base.
String expressions (of four or fewer characters) are
automatically coerced into a numeric value when the
display base of octal, decimal, or hexadecimal is
specified.
Examples
%cmdebug > = 12 + #10 + $a, d
#30
What is octal 12 (current input base) plus decimal 10 plus hex a, in
decimal?
%cmdebug > = 5 + (-2)
%3
Negative values that follow immediately after an operator (+, -, *, /)
must be placed within parentheses.
%cmdebug > = 'ABCD'
'ABCD'
%cmdebug > = 'ABCD',h
$41424344
In the second example, the string is coerced into a hexadecimal value.
%cmdebug > = [dst 12.100] + [db+4], $
$4820
The sum of the contents of data segment 12.100 plus the contents of DB+4,
displayed in hexadecimal.
%cmdebug > = fopen
SYS %22.4774
What is the start address of the CM procedure FOPEN? The address is
returned as logical code address.
%cmdebug > = ?fopen
SYS %22.5000
What is the entry point address of the CM procedure FOPEN? The question
mark is used (CM) to indicate entry point, rather than start address.
$nmdebug > = [r12]
$c04
The indirect contents of register 12.
$nmdebug > = vtor (c.c0000000)
$0020800
$nmdebug > = rtov (20800)
$c.c0000000
Translate a virtual address to a real address and then back again.
$nmdebug > = 1 << 2
$4
The value 1, left-shifted by two bits.
$nmdebug > = $1234 band $ff
$34
The value $1234, Bit-ANDed with the mask $ff.
$nmdebug > = sendio
SYS $a.$219ef0
What is the start address of NM procedure sendio?
$nmdebug > = ?sendio
SYS $a.$217884
What is the address of the export stub for NM procedure sendio? Note the
different use of "?" in CM and NM. In CM "?" is used for entry address,
while in NM "?" is used for export stub.
$nmdebug > = strup("super") + 'duper'
"SUPERduper"
The calculator accepts string expressions as well as numeric expressions.

CAUTION The output format of all System Debug commands is subject to
change without notice. Programs that are developed to
postprocess System Debug output should not depend on the exact
format (spacing, alignment, number of lines, uppercase or
lowercase, or spelling) of any System Debug command output.
