1 Destination Out doesn't exist since including a WR effect would turn WRLONG into a RDLONG instruction.
2 The Z flag is always cleared (0) since the main memory address (bits 13:2) is always on a long boundary.

Explanation

WRLONG synchronizes to the Hub and writes the long in Value to main memory at Address.

The WR effect can not be used with WRLONG as that would change it to a RDLONG instruction.

WRLONG is a hub instruction. Hub instructions require 8 to 23 clock cycles to execute depending on the relation between the cog's hub access window and the instruction's moment of execution. See Hub for more information.
