Re: TESTN/BITON/BITOFF

I have free-form version of TESTB, BITON and BITOFF on www.rpglanguage.com/boolean


if testbit(0, Out(Idx) ) = 1;
setbiton(Out(Idx), '0' );
else;
setbitoff(Out(Idx), '0' );
endif;

There is also a table there which shows examples of %bitand - %bitnot - %bitor - %bitxor.

Subject: TESTN/BITON/BITOFF

I am trying to convert some code to free format. I have searched the
archived and found many posts about the use of

%BITAND and %BITOR. Maybe it is because it is late on Friday, but I
just do understand the bit masks and how to use these BIF's.



Can someone show me how to convert the following code to free. I would
really appreciate it.



C TESTB '0' Out(Idx) 50
OFF

C IF *IN50

C BITON '0' Out(Idx)

C ELSE

C BITOFF '0' Out(Idx)

C ENDIF

C*

C TESTB '2' Out(Idx) 50
OFF

C IF *IN50

C BITON '2' Out(Idx)

C ELSE

C BITOFF '2' Out(Idx)

C ENDIF

C*

C TESTB '3' Out(Idx) 50
OFF

C IF *IN50

C BITON '3' Out(Idx)

C ELSE

C BITOFF '3' Out(Idx)

C ENDIF

C*

C TESTB '5' Out(Idx) 50
OFF

C IF *IN50

C BITON '5' Out(Idx)

C ELSE

C BITOFF '5' Out(Idx)

C ENDIF

C*

C TESTB '7' Out(Idx) 50
OFF

C IF *IN50

C BITON '7' Out(Idx)

C ELSE

C BITOFF '7' Out(Idx)

C ENDIF





Thanks



Jon
