Bit Operations

I've read the manual and searched the archives yet still don't understand
this.  There is a character field returned by an IBM a.p.i. that contains
information in individual bits (bit 0 is something, bit 1 is something else,
and so on) so I need a method of testing specific bits of this one character
field.  As near as I can tell, the following code should test bit 3 in the
field to determine if it's on:
IF %BITAND(Field : x'F3') <> x'00'

Is this right?

Thanks in advance for allaying my confusion.
