                     11: pointed to by A and B.
                     12: FRMT specifies the type of data
                     13: being compared.

                     16: FRML specifies the length of the fields being compared.
                     17: The fields may begin at any address,
                     18: i.e. they do not have to begin at a "0 mod 2" or "0 mod 4" address.
                     19: When fields of type CHAR are compared, all leading, trailing
