About STM8 decimal adjust

Hello everyone, I just started learning STM8 assembly language, but can not find the decimal adjust instruction, so do not BCD arithmetic.

Have thought about writing a decimal adjustment subroutine, the addition should be able to overcome, but subtraction instruction (SUB SBC) does not affect the H flag, so after BCD subtraction does not know how to adjust.

May I ask how to properly use assembly language do BCD addition and subtraction?

Hi,

I usually code a BCD subtraction as a sum of the ten's complement of the subtrahend. Please, see
