RE: Bit Operations

I'm actually just trying to determine the status of a specific bit.  As I
understand the a.p.i. documentation, this one character field contains bit
data that may look like '01110000' or '01001000' or something else depending
on what the a.p.i. detects.  The third bit (bit number 2), may be on or off
and I need to determine which.

you want to compare your field to bits '0010 0000' which is x'20'.  If you
mean what TESTB '3' means, you want to compare your field to bits '0000
1000' = x'08'.
