Abstract
The present invention relates to a method within a digital computer system for reading operand data stored in a temporary storage memory in a forward or reverse direction. The method includes loading the temporary storage memory with the first and second operand data strings in a pre-established order such that the subsequent fetching of the operand data words from the temporary storage memory is performed in a sequential order. The loading and fetching steps operate to achieve a desired word order such that the operation between operand data strings can be started while the operand data is being fetched.
