Hello

Does anybody know how to code the following in RPG/Free :-

TESTB '2' FieldF 16 17

If *ind17 = *on

BITON '2' FieldF

Endif


D mask like(fieldF)
/free
mask = x'30'; // binary 00100000

if (%bitand(mask : fieldF) = mask); // test if bit 2 is on
fieldF = %bitor(mask : fieldF); // set on bit 2
endif;

/end-free

Let me know if you need more explanation about why %bitand() and %bitor() can be used to test and set bits.

HTH,
Adam
