Flags Affected: EOS, OVER, ZERO

Notes:

1. If the value returned is zero, the ZERO Condition Flag is set.

2. The OVER flag is set TRUE if the 'return' variable is too small and cannot contain the 'return' value without being truncated. Otherwise, the OVER flag is set to FALSE.

3. The EOS flag is always cleared.

4. The {return} value is one when a compiled pattern is present and zero when no compiled pattern is present .
