Clock comparator sign control

Abstract:

A clock comparator sign control is used in a compare operation. A clock comparator sign control that determines whether unsigned arithmetic or signed arithmetic is to be used in a comparing operation is obtained. The clock comparator sign control is then used in a comparison of a value of a clock comparator and at least a portion of a value of a time-of-day clock to determine whether a selected action is to be recognized.
