Re: Bit Testing in CL Program?

Of course the question comes to mind why are you coding QDBRTVFD in CL. You
just like pain?

But assuming you have a reason, why not just create a RPG module with a
procedure, pass the value, convert and return to CL. Bind the CL module to
the RPG to form a program.

Hi, Dave:

If you use ILE CL (CLLE) vs. OPM CL (CLP), then you can use many MI
instructions directly "in-line" as built-in functions. This includes the
MI instructions for testing and setting individual bits, etc.

Hope that helps,

I was about to call the QDBRTVFD API from a CL program but
noticed
that the information I wanted was bit-encoded in byte 9 of the receiver
variable output. I know how to take the long (mathematical) approach to
determining bit settings (because I did it in COBOL back in the day), but
I was wondering if there was a more direct method available to CL
programs? Thanks.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
