Hi Don,

Sorry for coming in late, but doesn't the MVCIN (move inverse) instruction
do that? or am I way off?

Subject: Shifting memory to the right


Nothing like a dumb applications programmer question to end the week.  Is
there an instruction like MVCL that moves memory starting at the end working
to the beginning.  I have a table that is in sequence.  I want to insert a
new row, maintaining sequence.  That requires shifting right the end of the
table.  It would be great to just code an MVCL to do it, but I would be
overwrite data.  But if MVCL started with the last byte and worked its way
to the start, then the shift would be easy.  Does any such instruction or
function exist?

I guess I could do something silly and build the table starting at the end
of the of memory block and shift it left as I build it.
