Mar,
The half carry (H) bit in the CCR sets if there is a carry from
bit 3 to bit 4: in other words when there is a carry from the low hex
digit to the high hex digit. Only the DAA instruction is affected by the
state of H. For example:
LDAA #$5A
ADDA #$5A
The result in ACCA is $B4. Also, this would set H to 1 and clear C to 0.
The operation set H because adding the digits in the right column
generated a carryover to the left column ($A + $A = $1B). With the carry
bit it is possible to add and subtract using 9 bits.
Consider $A5 + $A5 - $75 = $14A - $75 = $D5
Code:
LDAA $00 ;ACCA = $A5
ADDA $01 ;C:ACCA = $14A
SUBA $02 ;ACCA = $D5
RAM data:
0000 A5 A5 75 5A 75 A6 77 77 - ...........
Hope my contribution helps.

| Yeah, it helps alot. Thanks. I guess the half-cary is for adding to the next significant 4 bit word. And the current word, including overflow, is then subtracted by ten (1010), if the half-carry is flaged, to yield the proper BCD word. Is this what (...)
