Bit testing/setting syntax when we code pmSystems

[David Rabiner]

Hello, all.

How do we code to test or set a bit. Say x04FE .7 (which I see is
read-only, but I'm pretending).

To set it, it would be something like: x04FE = x04FE + x80 ???

To check it, it would be something like: if x04FE and x80 then .... ???

What is the exact syntax for both of these?

Warm regards,
David

Hi,

I hope I understood you right... things are much simpler than that...

04FE .7 ThisIsMyBit

To set it... use

ThisIsMyBit = 1

To reset it use

ThisIsMyBit = 0

Nothing simpler... if ThisIsMyBit is defined as a bit, you handle it as a
bit. If it is defined as a byte or word, then you would have to manipulate
it as you describe below... but it is not necessary.

Ciao

Enrico
