Re: TESTB in /free

The %bit... functions require you to be at least on V5R2 - FYI. If not, you have to jump out of /free and back in again after the TESTB - or have a procedure not in free-form that you can call.

I got a character field (length 2) and want to check if the 7th bit is turned on (regardless of the state of the other bits). Any idea?

if (%bitand(charField : x'40') = x'40');
// bit 7 is on
endif;

That is, assuming you mean the 7th bit counting from the least significant bit (which I think is the usual way).
