6. Immediate Operator
In 2TEXT, during loading, an immediate operator word can precede a standard word or a word in a complex expression. The immediate operator has the form
P A,T,D
A and D are constants. P and T have the form ± OP, where OP represents any of the operator codes for a complex expression. The sign determines the order of operands. The meaning of this operator can best be described by an example:
S₁ OP₁ D S₂ OP₂ A Operator
P' D' T' A' Data Word
will cause a word to be formed (assuming S₁ and S₂ are +):
P' D OP₁ D' T' A OP A'
If S₁ or S₂ or both are minus, the corresponding operands are reversed.
