Re: Bit Operation - BITAND

Hello, Michael:

Note that x'10000000' does not denote a one-byte binary literal, but rather a four-byte hexadecimal constant, representing the binary value:

00010000 00000000 00000000 00000000

Does that help?

Mark

Here's my lil' code segment:

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

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!
