For the ez80 can someone give me an example of how to do 24 bit subtraction.

For example if HL holds a 24 bit number how would I subtract from it a 24 bit number held within BC?

Code:
or a,a \ sbc hl,bc

Thanks Mateo.

Is the

Code:
or a,a
done to clear the flag register before doing SBC?

Correct. The SBC instruction is actuall 'Subtract with Carry' (or sometimes 'Subtract with Borrow') - which means it factors the state of the carry flag into the result. Using 'or a,a' will clear the carry flag so that it isn't factored in.
