Bit Masking and Or?

[dbachman]

Hi Joe,

So....

Data @0 , 6

read 0, x

Would the variable x be equal to 00000110b

so then to make it 00100110 I would OR it with 00100000?


Thanks, Don

I am not a MATH Guy, but I believe in the example you listed, a bitwise OR would do that. Here is a link with some info. Or cannot you just add the 32 to six ?

with PBP, 4 Bit number don't exist. I know STAMPs have Nibble variable, but not in PBP. You have Bit, BYTE, and WORD. So you could use OR or just directly set the bit you want

ByteA = %110
ByteA.5=1

should do the trick as well.
