Table 15-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASM assembler.    
All instruction examples use the following format to rep-
resent a hexadecimal number:
0xhh
where h signifies a hexadecimal digit.
To represent a binary number:
 
0000 0100b
 
where b signifies a binary string.

Special Function Registers as 
Source/Destination
 
The PIC17C4X’s orthogonal instruction set allows read
and write of all file registers, including special function
registers. There are some special situations the user
should be aware of:
15.1.1
ALUSTA AS DESTINATION 
If an instruction writes to ALUSTA, the Z, C, DC and OV
bits may be set or cleared as a result of the instruction
and overwrite the original data bits written. For exam-
ple, executing 
 
CLRF ALUSTA
 
 will clear register
ALUSTA, and then set the Z bit leaving 
 
0000 0100b
 
 in
the register.
15.1.2
PCL AS SOURCE OR DESTINATION 
Read, write or read-modify-write on PCL may have the
following results:
Read PC:
PCH 
 
 
 PCLATH; PCL 
 
 
 dest
Write PCL:
PCLATH 
 
 
 PCH;
8-bit destination value 
 
 
 PCL
Read-Modify-Write:
PCL
 
 
 ALU operand
PCLATH 
 
 
 PCH;
8-bit result 
 
 
  PCL
Where PCH = program counter high byte (not an
addressable register), PCLATH = Program counter
high holding latch, dest = destination, WREG or f.
15.1.3
BIT MANIPULATION
All bit manipulation instructions are done by first read-
ing the entire register, operating on the selected bit and
writing the result back (read-modify-write). The user
should keep this in mind when operating on special
function registers, such as ports.
