Huh? First bit is off because it is off in the byte you are testing; other
bits are off because they are off in the byte you are testing with. So the
result of %bitand is x'0000000'. Seems alright to me.

Here's my lil' code segment:

D PrimaryBitMap...
D S 8A Inz(x'7224648008C08000')

/Free

If %BitAnd(%SubSt(PrimaryBitMap:1:1):x'10000000') = x'10000000';
dsply 'yes';
Else;
dsply 'no';
EndIf;

Since the first byte of PrimaryBitMap is x'01110020' (right?), it should
dsply 'yes'...but it dsplys 'no'. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
