Binary Bit Map

Pardon my ignorance, but I haven't worked with binary field much in RPG. I 
have process that send messages via sockets.  The message use a bit map to 
indicate what fields are present in the message.  The bit map is 64 binary 
characters.  So if the first 8 bit were "10000001" fields 1 and 8 are 
utilized.  What I want to know is how to describe the fields for the bit 
map?  Then how do I turn the bit on or off?  Thanks in advance.
