Description

The BITRSHIFT() function shifts the bits in the numeric value <expN1> the specified number of places to the right <expN2> and returns the new value. If <expN1> and <expN2> are not integers, they will be converted to integer values before the shift takes place.

Example

x = 6       && 0110
y = 1
? bitrshift(x,y)
         3   && 0011
